DNS name servers??”A DNS server can resolve addresses for the domains it serves and
contact other DNS servers to get addresses for all other DNS domains.
If you are configuring a DNS server, you can use that server to centrally store names
and IP addresses for your LAN. This saves you the trouble of updating every computer??™s
/etc/hosts file every time you add or change a computer on your LAN.
To add hostnames, IP addresses, search paths, and DNS servers in Fedora, do the following:
1. Start the Network Configuration. As root user from a Terminal window, type systemconfig-
network, or from the top panel, click System???Administration???Network. The
Network Configuration window appears.
2. Click the Hosts tab. A list of IP addresses, hostnames, and aliases appears.
3. Click New. An Add/Edit Hosts Entry pop-up window appears.
4. Type in the IP address number, hostname, and, optionally, the host alias.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat this process until you have added every computer on your LAN that cannot be
reached by DNS.
7. Click the DNS tab.

servers. (You get these IP addresses from your ISP or, if you created your own DNS server,
you can enter that server??™s IP address.
