I opened the etc/resolv.conf file, named etc/resolv.conf, the same way on my desktop, and it reads:
### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig! # # Before you change this file manually, consider to define the # static DNS configuration using the following variables in the # /etc/sysconfig/network/config file: # NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST # NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS # NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER # or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting: # NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY='' # # See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation. # # Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but # may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines # only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this # file and in case of a "netconfig update -f" call. # ### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file! nameserver 191.147.1.1
In addition, on the laptop the file system is different for etc/resolv.conf. I have a black file icon with a question mark in the middle that is named resolv.conf. Opening it, it reads
### /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf ### autogenerated by netconfig!
/etc/resolv.conf recently was moved to a symlink to /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf you can correct your non-compliant box by root: ln -s /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf you may need to first mv /etc/resolv.conf to /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf and maybe last netconfig update -f -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
