What are the permissions to the resolv.conf file now?  How did you edit it? (vi or emacs or from an app for chaning it)

Subject: dhcp not giving dns servers

 

Hey all,

 

I’ve been running RH8.0 on my IBM T23 laptop for a few months, and everything has been working great, even the lucent winmodem that comes installed in the laptop.

 

Until recently when I needed to connect to a network without a DHCP server to test my VPN connection.  I used the “neat” program to add a dns server to the list so that I could connect to a hostname.  That’s where the problem began.  Because now, after removing that entry that I manually added, dhcp will not update my dns server list.  I’ve tried many things, cleaning out all entries from resolv.conf manually, rebooting, connecting via different methods (wireless eth1, Ethernet eth0, and dial-up) but no difference.

 

Any ideas on how to fix this without a re-install?  It makes it a major pain when moving back and forth between work and home, and the t-mobile hotspot service I just paid $20 for won’t work either.

 

 

Thanks a bunch in advance.

 

Mike
