Re: [newbie] Internet connection and LAN don't get along
Further information on this problem... my /etc/resolv.conf file reads: # search pizzapizza.net hondutel.hn search pizzapizza.net # nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 206.48.104.142 nameserver 206.48.104.158 # ppp temp entry The first time I had this problem, I solved it by remarking out 192.168.0.1 as the first nameserver. I don't understand why the same symptoms have returned even though 192.168.0.1 remains remarked out. Any ideas, anyone?

Dennis's workaround of taking down the LAN before connecting to the Internet works, but does anyone know a permanent solution to this problem? Hi Warren, I've seen a similar problem on my dial-up system. So far I have discovered that are at least two programs that write (on a temporary basis) to /etc/resolv.conf; the first is kppp and the second seems to be the pppd daemon. You can identify what is happening if you try to make your connection and then open /etc/resolv.conf. I discovered from this that the two dns servers that I had entered in the setup had been appended by two completely different ip addresses (neither of which I had provided). This made a total of four dns's in the file which is illegal (three is the max). Subsequently I discovered that there is another resolv.conf in the /etc/ppp directory which contained the other addresses and it was this files contents that was being appended. This may of course be unrelated but I have had alot of difficulty with the Mandrake Control Centre lan and internet setup in both 8.0 and 8.1 and it has always been related to a nameserver issue.
