Hello everybody,
It's my first try with a linux server. I installed free eos v1.3 to manage the network of a little university. I would like to share the internet connection but i can't manage et set it correctly.
When the server boot, it detect the FAI because it get an IP (which is not fixed), but no DNS server. So, when i try to go on the internet, IE says me that it can't resolve adress. How can i tell it which are the dns server and where can i find this information ?.
At this moment, i use freesco to connect to the internet and it works without problem.
Thanks a lot for answering me.

You should be aware that contribs.org is the home of the SME Server.
Nevertheless I don't mind pushing you in the right direction:
If you're running a linux server such as SME / Free EOS, you have a full featured DNS server running. Clients on the internal network direct their DNS queries to the linux server and the linux server will resolve the queries. First test on the command line of your server whether it is able to resolve names by typing something like 'nslookup contribs.org'. If this works make sure that your clients use your server as DNS server. Normally this is automatically done if your server does DHCP serving.
