Situation
Retain is having problems after we changed DNS servers.
Resolution
Linux
There are two ways to change DNS on Linux:
GUI:
Computer/YaST/Network Setting (search with filter if you can’t see it)
In the Hostname/DNS tab you can change it.
CLI:
change the /etc/resolv.conf
so the item nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn points to where you want.
Windows
This is set in the Control Panel.
- Click on Start/Control Panel
- Then click Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center
- Click on Change adapter settings on the left
- Right-click on Local Area Connection and select Properties
- Click once on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPc4) and then Properties
- Click on the Use the following DNS server addresses: and enter the ones desired.
- Click OK to finish.
