What's up??!! This is driving me crazy.
Thanks.
Do you have a search directive in your /etc/resolv.conf file for their domain or are you trying to resolve IP addresses using the FQDN?
FQDN in this case. I have access to both networks at this point. I only have DNS provided by Sprint for Inet in my resolv.conf. I can resolve Inet domains by name but not those on the client's network. The client network I can access by IP but not by name. Adding the client's DNS server to my resolv.conf as the *first* entry let's me resolve the client's machines by name but then I can no longer resolve Internet addresses by name. It doesn't continue to check other DNS entries in resolv.conf to try to resolve something like www.suse.com. Commenting out the client network DNS entry or moving it to the last of 3 entries again lets me resolve Internet addresses but no longer let's me address client network machines by name. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
