* setup doesn't work with DNS down @ 2003-09-26 2:27 Krzysztof Duleba 2003-09-26 2:31 ` Igor Pechtchanski 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Krzysztof Duleba @ 2003-09-26 2:27 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin I have a problem with setup - it can't connect to the server to download list of mirrors. My Internet connection is ok, but DNS that I'm connected to is down and temporary I'm resolving domain names manually. I can't change DNS entry in TCP/IP settings because it requires reboot, which will not happen in next few days. Is there a way to make setup work?

Add the following entry to /etc/hosts (mind the Tab): 67.72.78.213 www.cygwin.com cygwin.com sources.redhat.com and setup will not care if your DNS has temporarily gone to the moon. Just don't forget to take it out later (or keep it there, but beware of IP address changes for www.cygwin.com, though they are usually announced beforehand).
