My firewall computer, running openSUSE 13.1 no longer uses external DNS look up, but does use the hosts file. Wireshark shows it's not even attempting to access the DNS servers. I have tried recreating resolv.conf, but the problem remains. Any idea why it wouldn't access DNS servers? Routing to the Internet is fine.
First try by posting this: cat /etc/resolv.conf | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#" Then try to ping, by number, "173.194.45.160", or some numbers up (google.com). Then try "host -v google.com". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
