Hi all,
Not having issues setting this in Ubuntu or Windows but I cannot seem to add a static DNS or search path without it getting over written when networks restarts.
The file dhclient.conf seems ignored.
I would like to simply have a fixed DNS and search path added to what ever was found by the dhcp client.
So I don't think peersdns=no is an option.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I note that you've specified in your message that you've specified the option as "peerdns" but it should be uppercase, a la:
PEERDNS=no
Yes, I know.
As to the static IP, that's specified from the DHCP server. If you're running a Linux based DHCP server, you set up the dhcpd.conf like so for that client
host some-system { hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX; fixed-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; }
Well, I as wrong, /etc/dhclient.conf is respected by the OS and works when I add;
supersede domain-name "value"; prepend domain-name-servers value;
no quotes on the second value.
