The first resolve.conf file above works fine on other Linux distro's and on my MAC. ***** I initially thought this was a Gnome problem as DNS lookup was fine from ***** the command line, I've since noted that lynx has similar resolution ***** problems from the command line, please reassign this as appropriate. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I did a complete reinstall selecting a minimal x-windows install, the problem is present with firefox under twm as well. Gnome wasn't even present in the configuration. As I implied in my previous post this was beginning to look like a systemic problem rather than something specific to gnome. The above test seems to confirm this. I've done some web research and found other DNS issues on unreleated platforms with the DSL modem in question, apparently it barfs on IPV6 requests. Despite disabling IPV6 during the install it looks as if the bridge associated with eth0 was still being configured for IPV4/IPV6 dhcp (unless this is showing as the default in yast2). I can work around the problem in one of two ways, hand code resolv.conf or put the modem into bridging mode and move pppoe to the server (which I plan to do anyway once I finally manage to get create virtual machine to work correctly so I can set up a firewall VM) As far as I'm concerned the evidence confirms this is NOT a gnome problem. The problem is most likely specific to this DSL modem, given a workaround is possible I'm not even sure it's worth reassigning it to somewhere else, I'm not sufficiently cognizant of the normal opensuse bug handling practices to decide if/where to reassign it and would not have a problem with closing it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
