Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10
Figure 1-24: Configuring DNS and host name
Enter the name server address into the Name Server 1 field. You can also enter up
to two other separate DNS server entries. Your administrator or ISP should be able
to give you this information.
The Domain Search entry is used to control how your machine looks up the address
of other machines connected through TCP/IP. For example, if you use a Domain
Search entry such as
suse.com, you can communicate with any machine in the SUSE
domain by just its host name. For example, with
suse.com as the Domain Search
entry, you can communicate with the machine you are setting up in this example by
just using the host name of
bible . If you do have suse.com as a Domain Search field,
however, you have to specify the fully qualified domain name of the machine you
want to communicate with (in the case of this example, that is
bible.suse.com).
When you have set the DNS configuration for your system, press OK to save your
changes.
Configuring the Default Gateway
Next, you will probably need to configure the router/gateway for your system. To
do this, click the Routing button. You will see a screen similar to the one shown in
Figure 1-25.
