[opensuse] DNS vs KDE4
I've just used yast to set up a dns server on my computer. I can do ping and nslookups from the commandline and I have set up a windows xp virtual machine (using virtualbox) which also has no problem accessing the internet. However, I find that I cannot use konqueror, the weather report fails and the update notifier also fails with an unknown host error. It seems as if KDE4 is not able to use the local DNS or anything else once the local DNS is active. If I enter the ip address in konqueror then it finds the site without a problem. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Local things like nslookup are probably using your resolv.conf files to find an upstream dns server. I think Things like kde need to use 127.0.0.1 as their dns server. There may be network restrictions in your /etc/named.conf or there may be no proper forwarders in your /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf for the name server to forward requests. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, this is bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473308 . You may work around it by adding "nameserver 127.0.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf.
Thanks Eddie
