<title>Creating the /etc/resolv.conf file</title>
<para>If you're going to be connected to the internet then most likely you'll
need some means of DNS name resolution to resolve internet domain names to IP
addresses. This is best achieved by placing the IP address of a DNS server
into <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. Create the file by running the
following:</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/resolv.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
# Begin /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver &lt;IP address of your nameserver&gt;
# End /etc/resolv.conf
<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen>
<para>Of course, replace &lt;IP address of your nameserver&gt; with the IP
address of the DNS server most appropriate for your setup. This will often be
provided by your ISP or it may even be a router on your local network.</para>
