[Bug 430925] New: Major Problems with Network Traffic from the Default " Site is used as a Domain Name of the PC
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430925 Summary: Major Problems with Network Traffic from the Default "Site is used as a Domain Name of the PC Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer ########### QA - Sorry uncertain on clasification of Yast or KDE ############ In particular in Home or SMB Networks the Domain Name field in YAST>NETWORK SERVICES>NETWORK DEVICES .is never changed from the default SITE - This is either because they do not operate with a local DNS Server host or their own Web Server and mo email associated with a Domain Name component.
From memory we auto Generate the Host Name, but we leave SITE as default.
If the Network is connected from Hardware Modem/Router/Switch we just plug in each PC's Ethernet card. It starts to be come an issue when the user uses NAT to change 1 IP onto Many IPs. Traffic analysis shows multiple/multiple dropped packets that cannot find their destination - because the PC is defined by both an IP and SITE as a domain. This becomes only evident when the user turns on NAT to convert a 1 to many IP and back again to an ISP. Another reminder is if a MS Windoze is setup on the same route a warning message is issues "duplicate address" despite the IP being unique on the netmask of both. Windoze sees the IP and the DN as == If you need me to setup traffic log to show you - please advise - Otherwise can we use the same smarts we use in auto creation of the Host Name or can we just remove its mandatory flag please. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
