I had done nothing that utilised the eth cards since the earlier session? This is the second time this has happened. I think it might have something to do with etc/resolve.conf being dynamic because adsl uses ppp, but I just follow this sort of stuff, can't say I understand it well. I did run SuSEconfig for other purposes.
Well, the script /etc/ppp/ip-up certainly can rewrite /etc/resolv.conf. I have it dissabled, but I'm using a modem and I don't remember exactly how I dissabled it. A way is mentioned in the scripts, but that is not how I'm doing it. I'll check if you are interested. It could be that I have "Auto DNS= 0" in wvdial.conf - but you can not be using that.

Thanks Carlos, but I found a switch in the /etc/sysconfig area that allowed me to turn off the dynamic nature of the file. The only danger with that I believe is that my isp may change their dns server addresses, but that has not happened for years so I think I will go with this for now. I am not actually convinced that the problem doesn't lie deeper in Yast code, but it is working again for now so I'm a happy little surfer. Cheers, Paul.
