Hi All

I've finally manged to get Ubuntu to connect to my work's fortinet VPN. Yay! However, remote DNS does not work and sticking the company's DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf didn't fix it.

What's the Linux equivalent to the windows .hosts file?

Doh! Just found it: /etc/hosts. Sorry!

-- Thanks Paul

Another tip: When the symbolic link to your memory node is broken (as it was ... ), it's worth trying something like

locate *hosts

which gives me:

/etc/avahi/hosts /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/150_exim4-config_hubbed_hosts /etc/hosts

For the reason for using "*" in *hosts see 'man locate'. And, for another reason, try instead

locate hosts

(assuming you have ghostscript installed ... ). Ted.
