According to "man interfaces" the suggested adding of "dns-nameservers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" to /etc/network/interfaces is actually not officially documented.
I cant find any option in "man interfaces" which is "dns-nameservers". I therefore still confirm (now on a clean Ubuntu 6.06 Final Server Install, using manual network configuration during installation) that Ubuntu does NOT store the DNS servers (whereever that should be) and therefore cant resolve dns-names. However, is able to ping their IP- adresses. -- network-admin needs dns-nameservers line in /etc/network/interfaces for static IPs https://launchpad.net/bugs/25624 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
