[opensuse] suse 10.0 dns server configuration on eth1 disappears
Greetings again everyone, I have stumbled across a rather annoying problem. My server has a single Ethernet card (eth1) attached to a Linksys router going out via a DSL connection. I have static IPs for both the DSL and eth1 (192.168.1.50). I used Yast to configure eth1 and manually insert the dns servers. At this point everything works fine. When I reboot or if there is a power failure I still have eth1 but the DNS server's disappear and I have to go back and enter them by hand again. Until I do this everything fails due to dns lookup errors. When I go to Yast to enter the servers' IP address they are just blank, like I had never configured them before. Anyone have any idea what I am missing here? Thanks in advance, Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, DNS setting is kept in /etc/resolv.conf, and if you activate Network Manager, it will be updated by it everytime the network connection is down/up according to whether you use DHCP. But with static IP I think it's not affected by Network Manager. Make sure that eth1 is really using static IP. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 3:50pm up 7:24, 2.6.16.21-0.8-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
