El Paso, TX | Static IP Is there a way? I use opendns as my DNS carrier on a linux system. A static IP is preferable then having to code some kind of updating routine. |

| yes you can. |

El Paso, TX | I sense that you are needing me to add additional information to my request...
1) Residential account.
2) How?
I had left that to the forum to assume, I gather I that I was mistaken in that would be the correct way to phrase my question.

For a residential account I don't think you can,you are more than likely going to have to get a business account(I could be wrong on that,but I think I'm right) |

You cannot get a static ip with a residential account. You will have to setup a business account. |

I am assuming the question you meant to ask is this:
I do not want to use the SL nameservers I receive via DHCP. Is there any way to use other nameservers while using DHCP?
The answer is:
Yes. You can change the nameservers that the dhcp client configures in /etc/resolv.conf. You did not mention what distribution you use, but most distributions use dhclient these days. The easiest way is to put the following line in /etc/dhclient.conf or /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf (or wherever your distribution stores the dhclient config file):
option domain-name-servers ip.of.server.1, ip.of.server.2
Replace the 'ip.of.server.1' etc with your real dns server ip addresses. You can put any number of servers on there; just separate them with commas. |
