We established Active Directory as an DNS-owner in the first chapter. This should cause your Linux machine to start using the Windows DNS server and hopefully fix any DNS-related issues you were having. Save the file and then try restarting your machine. Just add a line that says “ nameserver x.x.x.x“, substituting the IP address of the Windows DNS server. This is typically done by editing the ‘/etc/nf’ file. Once you have the IP address of a Windows DNS server, you’ll need to add it to your Linux machine’s configuration. The easiest way to find this is to ask your network administrator or check your router’s documentation. However, for a Linux machine, you’ll need to use the IP address of a Windows DNS server. For a Windows network, this is typically the router’s own IP address. The router also usually assigns the DNS server address to use. This means that when you connect a new device to the network, the router automatically assigns it an IP address. Most home and small office networks use a router as a DHCP server. Here’s a quick guide on how to have Windows DNS work for Linux.

If you’re running a Linux machine on a Windows network, you may need to make some changes to your DNS settings in order to get things working properly.
