Re: DNS search path |

I am pretty comfortable with networking, but I've always had this hole
in my understanding, and want it filled. In Fedora's Network
Configuration control panel, there is a field for DNS search path. I
believe that it defaults to localhost.localdomain, which doesn't seem
very useful. I understand that some providers give out the information
for this field, but many hosts don't list this info. Is this field the
fqdn of the router provided by the ISP, another router further into
the ISP's network, or what? Can it be either a fqdn or an ip?
That field lists the name servers of your system. The correct content,
unless you have your own name server, you should fill in the DNS values
provided by your ISP.
The values you fill in will be written to /etc/resolv.conf
