This file had last been written on boot a few minutes before finding WAN was inaccessible normally. It had only one entry, domain <domainname>. Yesterday it was working, on an HTTP install via eth0 that was fresh the day before. The NIC is set so eth0 is only started if on cable connection. Normal connection is on wlan0, which was working when added after installation yesterday, and is working as long as I stick to using only IP addresses.
I have wlan0 configured for a fixed IP. In YaST2 when I goto the Hostname/DNS tab for wlan0, I'm not allowed to set name servers unless I uncheck the box "update DNS data via DHCP". It is supposed to be this way? Why can't it permit the router, which is a DHCP server, to supply/update the DNS info? Can the DNS and default route be made to automatically change if the ethernet cable is plugged in?
I unchecked the box and input the router IP and a couple of alternates for DNS, and now I have normal internet access, but I wonder about down the road when I plug in the ethernet cable while the default wireless connection is unavailable if anything will work at all without futzing with YaST2?
Felix, This is a bug. I have the same problem. Regardless whether I use eth0 or ath0, neither dhcpcd (eth0) or dhclient (ath0) will update DNS preventing the 11.0 box from being found on the network. Yes, "update DNS data via DHCP" is selected in both instances. See my post: "opensuse] dhcpcd/dhclient Does Not Update DNS on 11.0 -- Bug or Feature?" posted 6/26. I also filed a bug report on the issue: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404663 It would be great if you could add your comments and situation as well so it may help this get resolved sooner. In the mean time I bet if you search your /var/log/messages, you will find errors with a "nm-dispatcher.action" whatever that is. You may not with a static IP, but the end result is the same. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
