Hello all, I've just installed Fedora 18 X86-64. I disabled and uninstalled networkmanager and use the standard networking stuff which seems to use dhclient. I'm using a standard ethernet connection. So I need to do two things. Feel free to tell me to RTFM if you can provide a link! 1. How do I enable pre-pending of nameservers? I want to use dnsmasq to cache DNS requests so I need to add 127.0.0.1 to the top of resolv.conf. Google searchs take me to the Arch Wiki. I can't seem to find a dhclient.conf file anywhere in /etc. 2. How do I assign a zone in firewalld to my connection? I want to be able to open ports for bittorrent and XMPP jingle voice/video. The firewalld wiki on the Fedora site doesn't seem to be able to answer my question.

thanks in advance, Ananda Samaddar

In the ifcfg settings if you specify a DNS server then the network is assumed to have static DNS. So if I put DNS1=127.0.0.1 in the the ifcfg-em1 file all I get in resolv.conf is that nameserver and not the one supplied by my router underneath. Ananda
