how to change default dns-server *in* porteus - not modem?

Hi!

I would like to use openDNS as default, but how to do that on Porteus?

Thanx for any help...

hi RainerD,
type this url http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser
and set up your settings.

for my modem ZyXEL RT2 it looks so

Thanx, but I need to configure Porteus, as I am running it from a usb-drive in different internet-shops in India.
With Porteus I have my own virus free OS always with me.
The problem is that the configured Indian default dns-servers are very slow and sometimes completely down.
So, I would like to configure Porteus to use only the openDNS servers as default, instead of getting the dns-server from the network.

Hi RainerD

add to your rc.local script:

Code: Select all

# killall dhcpcd
echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220" >> /etc/resolv.conf

If IP adress return to your home number you can uncomment only first line.

Cheers
