Once you've SSH'd into the Freerunner, you can directly edit /etc/resolv.conf with vi. Alternately, if you alter /etc/network/interfaces on the Freerunner per the wiki instructions, you can modify the file in such a way that it write the /etc/resolv.conf file for you with an external DNS server. Hint: look for a line that looks like: up echo nameserver 192.168.0.200 > /etc/resolv.conf and change it to something like this: up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.conf After that, exit your SSH connection, reboot your Freerunner so it clears the USB networking stack, then the next time you plug your Freerunner into your PC via USB it should use the new public DNS server. The 208.67.222.222 address above is from opendns.com, a public DNS server. -id _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
