Hi, Thank you for your responses, now at least I know it is still worth trying to get it working. What does named do with the dns function? Is it supposed to be running when dnsmasq is running? dnsmasq is currently not running and does not want to start with either System Services or the command line, see below for error message. samhaber2:/var/log/samba # grep dnsmasq /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/dnsmasq:# init.d/dnsmasq /etc/init.d/dnsmasq:# Provides: dnsmasq /etc/init.d/dnsmasq:NAMED_BIN=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq /etc/init.d/dnsmasq:NAMED_PID=/var/run/dnsmasq.pid /etc/init.d/dnsmasq:NAMED_CONF=/etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/init.d/dnsmasq: echo -n "dnsmasq not installed!

Where does the 'dnsmasq' command line get run from? I would like to review the commadn line and possibly turn on the logging.
Does anyone have the DNS server working in OpenSUSE 11.3?
Does anyone have the SAMBA server working in OpenSUSE 11.3?
I have dnsmasq running on my home network (11.3) and soon at work (11.4). It works very well. I also have Samba running on the server at work that will be running dnsmasq and on just about every computer at home, other than the one that runs dnsmasq. Dnsmasq is a "service" which means it's controlled through Yast > System Services. You can also use the command (as root) "rcdnsmasq start|stop|restart".
