Peeg, those are not appropriate commands. I would suggest "man resolv.conf".

Homik, You put dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf in similar lines:

nameserver 1.2.3.4

However, You can use GUI to do it as well. In Mandriva 2006 click (STAR)->System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer. You need root password to access the application. Then click "Network & Internet", then "Alter miscellaneous internet settings".

Easy like in Windows. Why people still think, that they need to use console all the time

?

because alot of geeks (like me) who use linux, use the command line.

Welcome to the beatifull world of Linux.

and what a beutiful world it is.

by-the-way, is there an EASY way of getting bittorent on linux? I'm stuck with trying to download/install twisted psychotic pythons

and all kind of junk. All i want to do is play PS and the other mirror site doesn't work

right click, go to permissions, check 'executable', then double click (or single click if you set up like that) I guess.
