Linux Networking

Network not connecting using wired network (lo) When you switch between the networks like home to office. The dns setting remains unchanged sometimes and this makes the network not to connect. Change the dns setting by ./network-admin go to the dns setting and under the search domain add the dns of the ISP(parent network) then issue the ./etc/init.d/networking restart. give a ping to google.com. If the packet are not lost you are good to go. There is another way you can prepend the new domain name in the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.con file. open vi /s prepend and add the new dhcp domain name there .example "mydomain.com,"; This will make new domain available during each network startup
