This morning I noticed a problem with DNS resolution on my ThinkPad E520. I am not able to resolve host names.

Any ideas?
As of when I dug through something similar about a week ago... this sounds like a known intermittent failure in Network Management-Land. Seems environment and sequence-dependent, though not clear how. Work-Arounds mostly amount to: "Kick it in the head to make it re-figure it's configurations." The most common is "Remove resolv.conf, n force it to refigure (network management command, or reboot.)" The second most frequent suggestion is placing a known, good DNS address in resolv.conf, usually: 8.8.8.8. I DONT KNOW ENTIRELY WHAT EITHER OF THESE DO. I am not a network-wrangler, nor do I play one on TV. YMMV. Here Be Dragons. Free Advice is Worth What You Pay For It. Resources: -- A prior, recent disucssion on this list of "can't connect to WiFi" sounds similar, with the common "fixes". -- Problem / solution threads in the OpenSuSE forums address this. Also point to some general network diagnostic sequences. -- Bugzilla bugs for NetworkManager, which on this one amounted to "Not sure what this is, yet." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
