I'm having problems with changing DNS servers using the advanacedsettings.xml file.

Here's what I have in the file:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<hosts>
  <entry name="HOSTNAME">180.100.247.194</entry>
</hosts>
</advancedsettings>

The reason I'm changing the DNS settings is so I can access some geo-restricted content in XBMC.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

That's not setting up the DNS, that's setting specific hosts.

Change the DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf

Thanks darkscout.

I edited the resolv.conf to the new DNS server. Should I be seeing that changed in the System > System Info screen under Network?

It currently reads nothing for Primary DNS (and Gateway).

[darkscout]

what does it say when you use 'nslookup' to lookup a host?

I'm trying to install dnsutils but after doing an apt-get update and trying to install dnsutils I'm getting "E: Couldn't find package dnsutils".

I would like to know how changing your DNS will allow geo-restricted content.

Anyway, you said you are running live so dnsutils is in the repository.

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install dnsutils

If that is not working then you may have already borked the network.
