Re: slow dns lookup
Hello again Tyler,
There is a way around the problem, you could set the machine up to have a
static ip . check out the link
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/254
Or you could apt-get install etherconf
"Description: debconf interface to Ethernet device configuration
Etherconf is a debconf-based interface for configuring Ethernet devices on
your system. It
supports both manual and DHCP-based configurations."
