Hello.
I have a networking issue. Sometimes, because I am switching from one comupter to another to connect to the net, my provider doesn't assign my IP address through DHCP. I go to the other computer (Windows), release the IP and restart the network on mine (SuSE8.2). I do get an IP address but the DNS is then VERY slow to respond. I think that a reboot solves this issue each time but I presume that it means there is another way to solve it.
Any hint knowing that I don't have the possibility to build/buy a router?
Use 'tethereal -n -i ppp0 port 53' to find out what is going on on the wire, you'll see DNS queries and responses, and then see which servers are queried. Your resolv.conf is probably not updated, but I'm not sure because I don't fully understand your setup. You can try whether DHCLIENT_RELEASE_BEFORE_QUIT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp and 'rcnetwork restart' helps. Peter
