how to configure dns in rhel4
 

Hello,

Can some tell me how to configure DNS in rhel4. I am new to linux. I tried redhat manual but failed.

my pc is standalone and i want to configure dns on it.

Thanks

what dns? client? server? sounds just like a client setup, so add "nameserver 1.2.3.4" to /etc/resolv.conf and that's it.

You are not clear whether you are configuring client or server.
If you configuring client then simply do the following steps:

vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <youdnsip>
:wq

if you are configuring server then let me know i will reply again.

I want to configure Server on my pc

well please provide this sort of important detail in the future... so read up on bind, e.g. the bind howto at tldp.org and come back when you have specific questions.
