I had this problem with the update to milestone 8 from milestone 7 and have it again with the update from milestone 8 to rc1. It looks like DNS does not work anymore. The last time I solved it by downloading milestone 8 and installing from DVD. I'll do the same now. (But with RC1 instead off milestone 8 offcourse.) When it was working 'route -n' gave: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Just now (with RC1 installed with zypper up) the 127.0.0.0 entry was not existing. With: route add -net 127.0.0.0 I got: SIOCADDRT: invalid argument. I could add the rule with: route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo But with ping I still got unknown host. -- Decebal Computing Voor uw ICT oplossingen Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer M Cecil@Decebal.nl LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
