nameserver
I have a new installation. Apparently Windoze can ask the modem to do DNS lookup but I use Linux and Solaris(Unix) which need to do their own lookup. I need the ip address of two DNS nameservers I ...
I'm using Linux 18.3 and Firefox 64.0 . I've never needed to enter a DNS anywhere to get my connection to work, but under administration, hardware, network, it says the DNS is 192.168.0.1, which is actually the address of the modem. Googling DNS Linux I also found: 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222
Hope this helps.
BTW I'm glad to see that you use the proper spelling for Windoze. :>)>

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The addresses you suggest work ok so far even without registering with opendns.com.
The nameserver(s) your computer is using will probably be located in /etc/resolv.conf.
Best regards,
Fred
