So, either tmdns is broken, or nslookup is, or 127.0.0.1 should be listed last. BTW, another issue is that it seems restarting a network interface does not change the hostname of the machine (in my case from bgmilne-thinkpad.cae.co.za to just bgmilne-thinkpad), which causes problems (and the typical GNOME issue ...). The name returned by DHCP should be dropped, but that might cause problems with X :-(. With my tests it would work for the first request, then fail permanently after that. Also dhclient is a load of c*ap, dhcpcd is mucho better. dhclient requires significantly complex dhclient-INTERFACE.conf files to achieve the same as dhcpcd does with a couple of simple command line switches. Would not know. dhclient works for me. Only additional feature I am looking for in a dhcp client is the ability to set the WINS IP for samba when the dhcp server returns one ...

[Cooker] DHCP Client in Mandrake 9.1 RC1
Is there something that I'm missing or is this I bug I need to report? I have a Cisco 675 DSL modem that does NAT and DHCP. I set up the pool to hand out IP, DNS Servers and Default Gateway. In the Windows world, everything works fine but in Linux, I get the IP address and Default Route but no DNS servers. When I do a nslookup it connects to 127.0.0.1. Help!
