DHCP client update only ip adress and dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf where are DNS servers which you use for resolving hostnames. It doesn't update any record in bind zones informations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Am using the x86 (32-bit) version of openSUSE 11 & the following relates to that. The problem is as follows- (mentioned between the "=====" lines for sake of clarity- =============================================================================== On openSUSE 11.0 with updates (as of 27 Aug 08), the net connection using a DSL Router connected through a USB port (detected as eth1: TI NDIS USB Device, where TI = Texas Instruments) worked fine till now (installed a week ago) ; but by error I altered the connection settings to include DHCP (i.e. obtain DNS Name addresses via DHCP). Now, I cannot configure it connect using a static IP & using the DNS Servers that the ISP provides. Now, the 'Update DNS data via DHCP' box remains checked (it is greyed out, as seen in the picture) & I cannot connect to the web. The screenshot is that of the Yast Network Configuration screen with the error is here - http://lvznow.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p8roNEK4Ir1jpwshCeT66N06PsZGI5uIOHrNuo... I have a feeling that if I can get rid of the DHCP-enable option (the grayed-out button in the pict in url above), then after changing to static IP & DNS (ie I would enter them manually from provided by ISP), it would resolve the problem, since the past week, I had net access with the static IP option). Any suggestions/further steps on how to resolve this? PS: - On shutting down the system yesterday, there was a message stating the eth1 (TI NDIS USB Device) connection was not detected/changed & that I should file a bugzilla report. It scrolled out too fast for to note the exact message. - I have not added any additional hardware or made any significant system changes other checking the DHCP one (obtain IP Address & update DNS address via DHCP) by mistake; that I can't seem to reverse now. - eth0 is the inbuilt ethernet card (mcp73) of the mainboard (nvidia 610i chipset). I do not use this for networking or connecting to the net. ================================================================================ Thanks, -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In 11.1 Beta3 I still need to set send host-name "computername"; in /etc/dhclient.conf.

You can do that - go to NM's connection editor, choose the connection, click edit, go to "IPv4 Settings" tab and specify the host name in "DHCP Client ID" field. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can configure "send host-name" directly in /etc/dhclient.conf file (as comment #4 already suggests). NM will overrider the "send dhcp-client-identifier" from that configuration file with the value from connection editor (if set), but all the other variables are still used. What do you think of an idea of always using "send host-name" when static hostname is used? Would it produce any side effects? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The send host-name directive still appears in my /etc/dhclient.conf file, but it no longer seems to have an effect.

Yes. Inspecting active processes with ksysguard, I found dhclient and its commandline: "/sbin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid -lf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.lease -cf /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf eth0" No option -H <hostname>, and I couldn't figure out where this commandline was assembled. Then I noticed that a configfile is used per interface. I created therefore a config for both my interfaces (eth0 and wlan0). This solved the problem. At least for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ahh, thanks. Yes, I created /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf and /etc/dhclient-wlan0.conf containing only the send host-name directive and it works again. It will be nice to get this fixed for real in 11.1, though.

Should this become a FATE request for 11.2? Cheers, Brandon -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
