I would recommend using the ISC dhclient instead of dhcpcd. It has always worked flawlessly for me here, whereas dhcpcd was more flaky.
Thanks Joe, I installed the isc dhclient, and removed dhcpd. I'll let you know if I run into the problem again.
Just to be sure, we are talking about dhclient vs dhcpcd, not dhcpd. DHCPD is the ISC dhcp server program, dhclient is their client program. I don't know who makes dhcpcd, but wanted to make sure you uninstalled the correct program.
Thanks for your reply, I have dhcp, dhcp-client, and dhcp-server installed, all of which mention isc. I guess I uninstalled dhcpcd(?) because dhcpd still shows in the run level editor... but then again my router is my dhcp server so the daemon was never running. Anyway, the problem resurfaced at about 6 pm. After i pinged the gateway fetchmail ran fine. This time there was no pertinant info in localmessages. Is there anything in linux that would need to make a connection to the namesarver every few hours that could be causing this? Or anything that would run or reset at about 6 pm? It happens right about dinner time, i usually get home from work at about 6:30 - 7 pm, which is when i notice it. I'm utterly confused about what is happening. Do I need anything in /etc/resolv.conf or is the router info sufficient? The router knows the nameservers, does linux need to know them to? Thanks for your help. -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro
