while searching my settings to resolve the problem mentioned in my mail below, I saw that my /etc/resolv.conf only contains ### BEGIN INFO # # Modified_by: NetworkManager # Process: /usr/bin/NetworkManager # Process_id: 11276 # ### END INFO I added the usual nameserver and search lines - and now everything works again. But how comes that these lines were gone? I havn't tinkered anything... Can I find out who removed these details and why? thanks for your help.

Hello,
I have a very strange problem: suddenly I cannot reach the web using domain names from my laptop - and only from my laptop. I can reach any site using the IP-Number, but not with domain names. If I want to log into to the router-PC using ssh with the name, I get the message
Temporary failure in name resolution.
I can login with the IP-Number...
What I don't understand, is that I can use ssh and the web normally on the other computers via the same router-PC - it just doen't work anymore from my laptop. So the name server on the router fully works (I also tried there using the host command and w3m).
I havn't changed anything on the laptop. I just shutted it down (while anything worked normally), then started it again later and since then I have this problem.
I tried to find any useful info in the logs, but I cannot see anything (which doesn't mean there is no info - I probably just search the wrong files for the wrong words...).
Where can I look what happend and how can I find out where the problems are?
Thanks for your hints.
Daniel
