ip_address 192.168.0.xxx
ip_router 192.168.0.1
Change the IP address in the above "ip_address" field (192.168.0.x, 1 < x
< 255) and finally create c:\bin\resolv.cfg:
SEARCH DNS HOSTS SEQUENTIAL
NAMESERVER xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NAMESERVER yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy |
Now edit the above "NAMESERVER" entries and replace them with the correct IP addresses for your local DNS server.
Issue a ping command: ping 192.168.0.1 to test the connection to your gateway machine. (This is only an INTERNAL LAN connection test, you can't ping the outside world yet.) If you don't see "replies" to your PINGs, please verify your network configuration.
