Okay, thanks.
The router doesn't -- but if you fail to reset /etc/hosts to the basic where it resolves localhost and your hostname.domain.tld and just leave it as is, networking from your laptop will break every time there is a IP mismatch between what you have in /etc/hosts and the actual IP starlink has for the device.
Go back in the thread. I posted the /etc/hosts and hostname setup you need for DHCP. If needed, I can post again.
The default opensuse /etc/hosts will work but does not provide resolution of hostname.domain.tld. That you need to add, and you need to set your hostname (hostname command and then echo "hostname" > /etc/hostname -- or use Yast to set it)
When set manually you do NOT include the "domain.tld" part using the hostname command or saving to the /etc/hostname file -- the "domain.tld" part is handled by /etc/hosts.
Ah. That makes it clearer. Thank you. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.5 - x86_64
