<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Martin,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I got the name serving (DNS client)
working. Basically I had to grep my entire /etc for instances of
"random.xs.laptop.org" and change that to the correct value for
our ISP provider. It seems that "service network restart"
doesn't re-read the updated /etc/resolv.conf, and so rebooting is required.
One key change is creating /etc/sysconfig/olpc_net_config file. This
file indicates that the system has already been booted before and not to
over-write any IP configurations that are generated on the first boot with
DHCP values for eth0. We have static IP, and specified BOOTPROTO=STATIC,
but the XS image keeps over-writing what I had done previously, only to
find out it did this because "olpc_net_config" never gets created.
By manually creating, it stopcs these other actviities.</font>
