Can ping ip addresses, but not names? | |||||||
| I had a linux machine configured with a static 192.* ip address. When I tried pinging ip addresses outside my network (ie on the internet) it was fine, but when I tried pinging the same ip, but using it's DNS name, it failed. The answer was to add the ip address of my router to /etc/resolv.conf: | ||||||||

nameserver 192.168.1.1
If other nameservers appear in the list, make sure this server is above the others.

The ip address of your router (or nameserver) maybe different. | |||||||

| If you don't have access to a wired network, say because you are using an Airport Express as your router, then you can reconfigure your machine to use a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) instead of using DHCP. Connect the bridge directly to your machine via the ethernet port. Then you can access the bridge configuration page via 192.168.1.226. | ||||||||
