I missed to read previous posts.
What I did is to let DCHP to configure router again, and there was no problems to get DNS for page in location field, but it seems that it works slower, and on page with a lot of ads, it was missing some files. The background is left blue after page loading, instead to change to white, and that is what you describe and I had, before manual configuration, very often.
Now I'm out of time, but later this evening, I'll try to pick up more pages/sites to look at.
I noticed a lot of bug reports related to dhcp and dns, but I don't use dhcp, so none of the suggestions that people posted are relevant to me.
Here's the link to this thread. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-12/msg00879.html
I had posts, but I have forgotten that your first mail was longer explanation.
Using Wireshark. DNS has 2 requests for each name. First is not answered, second is. Disabling IPv6 solved this one. Computer is looking for router IP somewhat often, every few minutes.
*** 1 DNS server. *** For cnet.com there was about 90 names to resolve. With 10 ms/request gives 0.9 seconds only for DNS, the real time for each request depends on the name. Simple: time nslookup www.cnet.com real 0m0.069s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.004s
*** 2 DNS servers *** Times are better in average, as computer doesn't wait for server.
Though, it can be something else that keeps computer busy. Try to monitor system usage with top.
Hmm, stop 'nepomuk' in Desktop Settings > tab Advanced > Nepomuk . It is indexing service in KDE4.

Rajko, Problems with the DNS server have been a major roadblock since I installed 11.1. In my case the solution was to add a DNS server. Routers are not DNS serves and sometimes are not good and providing the isp dns server. Under opensuse 11 the only address under /etc/resolv.conf was the router address. From here the OS was able to read the isp dns address and use the ips dns server and I did not have any problems. Under opensuse 11.1 that approach is partially or randomly insufficient. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not. This makes the search for the problem hard. Adding the isp dns addess to the resolv.conf fixed the problem. In summary in my case these are the steps I went through: 1. Unable to connect to the net and unable to get to the repositories however: 1.1 I was able to ping 1. 2 I was able to resolve domain names: $ host www.google.com www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 74.125.95.103 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.95.99 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.95.104 www.l.google.com has address 74.125.95.147 1.3 I could not access a web site using Firefox. I could not access the repositories 2. The initial solution I found was to disable ipv6 within firefox. That did it. Firefox suddenly worked!. 3. I still could not see any of the community repositories under yast or update anything. So I enable ipv6 inside Firefox and disable ipv6 under yast (network services). Now I could use firefox and see all the repositories and update the system. 3.1 But I still could not fetch or send mail using evolution. I was able to fetch mail using kmail but kmail could not send mail. How can figure out this behavior? 4. I start to think more and more of a DNS problem so I look into the web router utility and from there I got the ISP DNS address and I added to the resolv.conf nameserver:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Then enable ipv6 as it was as default and reboot. Suddenly everything work perfect. 5. I remove the DNS from the resolv.conf and I added it using yast networking so now is added automatically to the resolv.conf. I have not had any problems since. What has change since opensuse 11.0 I donot know but I have both installed and what I described is the difference. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
