I would be careful with setting your nameserver to the IP address of your router. Not all routers act as a DNS caching server. Google offers 2 public DNS servers that anyone can use: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 ( https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/) My recommendation would be to use the Google Public DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf if you are unsure about your router acting as a DNS caching server.

The usual practice is to set your nameserver, /etc/resolv.conf to the lan address of your router which would be the same as your gateway address.

Without DNS you can’t reach anything by host name. So you wouldn’t be able to ping google.com, for example. On the other hand you should be able to ping your router, 192.168.1.1 for example, or anything else you know the IP address for. -- Tim :wq

Can the DNS make it appear to not even find the connection, as though the cable is not connected? The response I get (or lack of) looks like it would if the cable were not connected. Looks like I have a bunch of things to try.
Thanks all, Bob kk6ecm

I also use ‘setup’ to set a static IP address. But setup hammers /etc/resolv.conf so I just go edit i.e. manually. Should look like so for google dns, use others if you prefer:
nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 -- Tim :wq

After the ACID load is complete, using a DHCP router, I run "setup" from the command prompt, and configure it manually, IP, netmask, gateway, and DSN. When I do this on a WinXp machine in the TC/IP window, connects directly to the public (static) IP just fine. When I do it on the Linux box with ACID, eth0 can't find the connection.
Bob, what you are doing seems correct. I tend to manually edit files, but there is nothing wrong doing it from 'setup'. Bottom line, there is nothing in ACID that prevents this from working. I think you probably just have some field wrong somewhere.
I would approach it bottom up - try pinging the from the AllStar computer to the gateway using IP addresses, then using a symbolic name to test NDS, and work your way up. I bet you will find some subtle misconfiguraton somewhere is causing the problem.
