 If you put your nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf this will get DNS working for at least some applications, like ping. Others such as nslookup appear to expect a nameserver to be running on the local system. To easily configure your system, download the attachments to this page, below. Place named.boot in /etc, and everything else into /var/named. Edit /etc/named.boot and replace the IP address on this line with the DNS server you use for your net connection: If you put your nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf this will get DNS working for at least some applications, like ping.

 Notes: some NAS/network gear let you adjust the MTU (maximum transmission unit) to enhance transfer speeds. At least one user reported that raising this value (from the default value of 1500) caused problems with Amix: a mount was possible but any access to files on the NFS share caused "NFS not responding, still trying" errors. Putting back the default value restored operation. Notes: some NAS/network gear let you adjust the MTU (maximum transmission unit) to enhance transfer speeds.
