Eircom and DHCP

[Deleted User] · 2013-01-01 11:04:42

I have a nettop running xbmcbuntu 11.0. I want it to use a smartdns service but there's no appropriate options in the network settings of xbmcbuntu. Is it possible to have the Eircom router assign the smartdns nameserver to the nettop running xbmc and have the rest of my devices such as my laptop and internet radio etc…

Is it possible to have the Eircom router assign the smartdns nameserver to the nettop running xbmc and have the rest of my devices such as my laptop and internet radio etc using something like OpenDNS or Google DNS? The router is a Zyxel P660-HN-T1A and I had a glance at the settings and it seemed very basic. I'm thinking that it's 99% certain I'm screwed but perhaps some learned boards member might know a way?

Try editing the resolv.conf file.
