 |
|
Whenever I start my eth0 interface I get the below output:
Starting eth0
Bringing up eth0
dhcp
Running dhcpcd ... err, eth0: Failed to lookup hostname via DNS: Name or service not known [ok]
eth0 received address 172.16.134.64/24
I still have network connectivity but remote machines cannot resolve my dns name. Below is my /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/hosts files
/etc/conf.d/net:
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 BradDGentoo
::1 localhost
Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Maybe this isn't intentional but the option "nodns" tells dhcpcd to NOT update /etc/resolv.conf with the DNS server.
As a result there is no DNS and hostname resolution doesn't work, hence the error.
This can also be fine as long as /etc/resolv.conf contains an existing DNS server address.
