[CentOS] DNS update system-config-network GUI

Box is fully updated CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). DHCP is from the ADSL modem 192.168.1.1. After I update the DNS settings and restart the network, the DNS changes do not hold. I have tried using this GUI, as a regular user, after giving the root password, and, also, logged in as the root user. When I beg

After a little bit of research I feel a little vindicated. It seems that Samba3x seporated out nmb. On Samba 3.0 the nmb service does not show up in the chkconfig. It simply starts and stops with smb. On Samba3x it seporates out nmb and it does not start by itself. So based on my experience I

I just did a checkconfig on the PDC in question 192.168.6.1. And I noticed something that might be nothing but it puzzles me. The nmb service is set to "off" at all run levels. If I check the nmb status it says that it is stopped. Doesn't Samba need that for net-bios support? I am probably sho

With the WINS data cleared. for the past 20 min. (I did it before I wrote about it) Neither PDC has reported to WINS. So no wonder my PC's can't find their domain. So how do I make sure that 192.168.6.1 is added to wins.dat. I could do it manually but I would rather it communicate the way that
