Did you read the lines about editing /etc/resolv.conf, they're in the file. Years ago I missed reading those lines which threw me in a situation like you describe. If I suspect /etc/resolv.conf not to be correct, I remove it, restart the networkservice so that it will be regenerated.
I'm still going through this thread and ended up reinstalling TW on a fresh HDD, and now editing the "Name Server 1" column does indeed change the entry in /etc/resolv.conf. Does it maybe not write to that file if NetworkManager had previously edited it?
As I wrote earlier, I have a wired connection to a Client Bridge router. The Client Bridge router does tx/rx via a wireless link to my main router which WAN port is connected to the cable modem. If I lose power on the Client Bridge router and have a static IP set up with SuSE Tumbleweed or Windows 7, when plugging the power back in the machines do not have DNS. I can still type the IP in of the routers and access the GUI page, but no DNS. I originally started this thread thinking it may be a wicked issue, but after confirming the same behaviour happens on a Windows laptop, there's no way it's wicked. If either the Windows 7 machine or my SuSE TW install is set to DHCP, I can unplug the client bridge router over and over again and the machines get DNS no problem, and last I checked I think they are even getting the same IP address. I made sure to set everything correctly as far as name server, gateway, and an IP that didn't conflict with the DHCP range. So right now, I'm stumped. I'll just use DHCP, but it would be nice to know a technical reason as to why this is happening (both routers run the latest beta version of DD-WRT).
Using the IP address of the main router as the gateway, or the IP address of the client bridge router? Check the values you're getting from DHCP, using ip addr and su -c 'route -n' and cat /etc/resolv.conf Use exactly these values for the static config. That should work, since it works with DHCP. Reinstalling should not make any difference. A reliable OS should ( and does ) create an identical situation. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
