DNS error?

Post by rakulase » 2021/02/16 12:01:48

I had a DNS error with my Centos OS (CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009)
infconfig -a returns the following
<ifconfig -a>

I am able to ping 8.8.8.8
<ping -c 4 8.8.8.8>

however when I ping google.com
<ping google.com>
ping: google.com: Name or service not known

I tried resolving the issue yesterday disabling the Network manager and I currently do not have one.
/etc/resolv.conf still has a nameserver listed.

</etc/resolv.conf>

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

Simplest answer given the info you provided: nameserver 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is not a valid nameserver. Does it work if you run host www.google.com 10.xxx.xxx.xxx where 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip you have in resolv.conf?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Note:
10.0.0.0/8 is a private subnet and contains IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 -- 10.255.255.255.
Libvirt creates virtual network (virbr0) within private 192.168.0.0/16 subnet.
In practice it is unnecessary to obfuscate neither, because attacker has to break through your NAT-firewall anyway.

ifconfig (route, and netstat) are old commands.
ip li, ip ad, ip ro, and ss are more recent and capable.
If using NetworkManager.service (which is default), there is also nmcli, nmcli d s, and nmcli c s
