Hi list,

using a small suse 7.0 pro router here, and I am a bit puzzled and would like to hear your ideas:

I had the router work so that when I entered ping www.gmx.de the router isdn-dialled out and got into the internet, resolving the address.

Now I have changed something which I do not remember, and when I enter the same command, the router does no more dial out even though ippp0 is configured to auto dial mode as before.

(The same command now results in: Name of service not known. Resource temp. unavailable Host name lookup failure)

named says it is running (brings back "OK" on status request (/etc/rc.d/named status))

The joke is that everything works, when I manually dial out using isdnctrl dial ippp0 - I can then even use the basic routing using ipchains from a windoze computer. I could encircle the problem even further: A ping to my DNS here (my ISP's) results in network is unreachable - only because the computer does not dial out. (When I do isdnctrl dial ippp0 first, and ping THEN, it works)

But it does not work AUTOMATICALLY as it is supposed to.

Where shall I start searching? What files/logs would you need to estimate the situation?
