I have RedHat 8 installed on an old machine with a EE100-AXP ethernet card. I was able to get the machine on the network and it is assigned an IP from the DCHP server on my router. I can access it anywhere on my network without any problems. However, when I attempt to connect to a website it cannot resolve the name? Am I missing some configuration for DNS or something?

I managed to figure it out. Easy fix. For those that would like to know, just put the DNS servers issused by your ISP into the /etc/resolv.conf file

Your DHCP server should do that for you automatically, either it is misconfigured or your DHCP client is misconfigured.

Yeah I figured it should so that's why I was getting confused until I realized the /etc/resolv.conf was empty :)
