[App_rpt-users] Static IP Setup

If you switch to a static IP then you must add a nameserver in the 
/etc/resolv.conf file.

If you have a node setup with DHCP the name server will already be in 
the resolv.conf. But if you are static the resolv file gets cleared out.

I ususally use an open dns like:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

hope this helps.
