resolv.conf not really applicable as remember I use IFUP..
I switched to NM and I did delete resolv.conf and experimented with NM. No
success.
However, although I am not a great expert with TCPIP it did get me thinking
that the problem may indeed be related to my router setup as I have a local 4
port NAT router that enables me to share my internet connection if I want 2
computers on the same desk.
I don't think you asked me but my setup is as follows:
Computer >> Safecom 4-Port Cable/DSL Broadband Router >> HomePlug Powerline
ethernet adaptor >> electrical power cabling >> HomePlug Powerline ethernet
adaptor >> Netgear Cable Modem DSL Broadband Router >> Internet....
By unplugging ethernet cable from the WAN port of the local Safecom router and
plugging it directly into my computer the problem disappears - at least using
IFUP. I haven't tested it with NM Network Manager yet as there may be a
conflict between sleep/Suspend and Network Manager.
For real success ideally I would like:
1) to be able to use Network Manager instead of IFUP (not least because if I
need support everyone forgets I am using IFUP!);
2) to be able to use Sleep/Suspend without getting a black screen - which
happens when I use Network manager; and
3) to be able to use my local router
If using Network manager is too buggy then I will need to know how to use IFUP
in different situations e.g. when I am using my laptop to connect via my
Wireless card (RaLink chipset works ok) wlan0 instead of by eth0.
Hope the above is clear English. I think the hard part is solved and hopefully
you may have enough information to be able to help me get Network manager
solved or else help me workaround with IFUP.
Thanks
Ford
