I have set up my first linux machine with Redhat 8.0 and an IBM token
ring card. All the servers are NT 4.0. I have managed it get it to
join a domain and can ping ip's in the domain but not names. Same for
websites (can go to http://216.239.33.100 but not
http://www.google.com). I have set up my primary and secondary dns
servers but can't ping them. The DNS servers are outside our local
lan on a 147.x.x.x where as the linux box is a 198.x.x.x. I have
enabled wins in smb.conf and am stuck. Like I said this is my first
linux box so any help will be greatly appreciated.

In /etc/resolv.conf :

nameserver 147.x.x.x
nameserver 147.x.x.y
search your.domain

In /etc/nsswitch.conf :

hosts: files dns

and that should resolve the issue.

if powered by dhcp, do you know how hostname be resolved?

dhcp-1061-200

I almost only find the string in the
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases

my /etc/nsswitch.conf's hosts : files, nis, dns

tht hostname is not what I want, that probably is the reason my
dynamic ip webserver(apache2 on redhat 8) not work, (connection
refused)

hope to see someone's help
