Setting up dns for dhcp connection seems not to work - 4.4RC1

[Rahul Jain]

My modem and network connection sets up successfully with "dhcpcd eth1" or "netcfg eth1 dhcp". I can successfully ping an IP address like 8.8.8.8. However, setting a DNS with "setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8" or "setprop net.eth1.dns1 8.8.8.8" or "setprop dhcp.eth1.dns1 8.8.8.8" seems to have no effect and I still get Unknown host when trying to ping any hostname like google.com. This makes it impossible to use the Internet. What can I do?

Try the command to setup dhcp:

start dhcpcd_eth1:eth1

Make sure you have the dhcpcd_eth1 service in
the init.x86.rc.
(It should be created automatically if your eth1
was detected correctly at boot time.
If not, you need to create it manually)

For any future reader the most probable solution is due to
