[opensuse] 11.1 -- DNS not working, IPv6 is disabled???
I need to get some work done on a laptop. I can ping past my gateway to the internet using IP addresses. DNS is correctly configured, but ... I cannot ping DNS names either internal or external. I have confirmed that IPv6 is disabled, and I have switched between ifup and network manager over and over ... what else can I try? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So it is. The output of that program will give me some clue of what is happening at your side. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

OK, I got it working, but I don't think the underlying problem is fixed. The resolv.conf file had DNS search and server values that were from another site. I manually changed them, and now resolution is working. But the question is, why did the dhcp client not update the file? The top of resolv.conf said: "updated by dhcpcd" -- so clearly it worked at the last site, but then just would not work here. Weird. Thank you Carlos, for providing the clue!

It may be that the second dhcp server (not the client fault) does not supply the data for the DNS server to use.

no, the DHCP server at this site does supply the data ... it is working for my SLED 10 laptop, and for every vista/winxp device in the building. Only the 11.1 is not getting updated values ... weird, but at least able to work for now.

most likely is the bug I reported when opensuse 11.1 was releases. It drove me nuts!. Many users reported similar problems and all the bugs were transfer to the site I gave you in the previous message. As I said install glibc, enable ipv6 and delete the manual entries into resolv.conf and reboot and see if it works. I have not had any problems since. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

an interesting bit: if I do host -v www.novell.com then I get the message above. However, if I use only an unqualifed hostname, then it replies with: "trying hostname.domain.com" where the domain.com that it fills in, is NOT what is configured via DHCP, and is NOT correct for the network the machine is connected to. Where is it getting that info, and where can I tell it to stop? P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It should be asking to the DNS server listed in the file '/etc/resolv.conf'. In my case, with a local server: cer@nimrodel:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.12 <=== dns server to query search valinor <=== domain name to add. When you configure the network in yast, you can tell it to use the dns it gets via dhcp, or to ignore it. One important line in the output from 'host -v HOSTNAME' is this one: ] Received 78 bytes from 192.168.1.12#53 in 1 ms which tells the exact dns server it is querying. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Install glibc from Petr site and see if it resolves your problem. Look at message #83 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441947 Just in case this is the site just get the glibc that corresponds to your system http://www.suse.de/~pbaudis/bug-441947-2/ -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, this seems to solve my problems with the default gateway also (see my post from a few days ago). But it's only for the ipup method. Networkmanager still does not accept static routes from dhcp. And for my laptop I need this before I switch to 11.1. Is there a way to see what the computer got from dhcp without using wireshark ? Is there a way to get Networkmanager to use dhcpcd instead of dhcp-client ? Sorry for hijacking the thread. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong
