[Linux] Re: Resolving Names with a Static IP Address

[Brian Faris]

Hi Jason,

Also, make sure you have a gateway line in your /etc/sysconfig/network
file. It would go something like this:

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Then restart your networking with this command:

service network restart

After that is done, look at your routing tables (type: route -n) you
should see a line like this:

Destination              Gateway                  Genmask
0.0.0.0                    192.168.0.1            0.0.0.0.0

BTW: Substitute 192.168.0.1 with the gateway for your environment.
