Product: drakxtools
Component: DrakConnect
Summary: Drakconnect sets something wrong, kde slow opening
windows.
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-16mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: DrakConnect
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello.
I have a router and I use drakconnect to set up my adsl connection with dhcp.
THE PROBLEM:
Drakconnect apparently sets up something wrong, since kde windows take
about 5 seconds to open, and gnome complains that /etc/hosts is wrong.
On the other hand, if I choose a static ip assignment and manual DNS
assignment (as opposed to dhcp), windows open instantly. The difference is
huge.
POSSIBLE REASONS:
I'm no expert, but I am going to report what others told me. :-)
1)
Some kde developer told me it must be a problem not in dhcp, but in dns.
unfortunately, drakconnect doesn't allow me to specify dns if I choose dhcp.
2)
Someone else told me that the hostname does not resolve because the
/etc/hosts file produced by drakconnect is broken, and I should manually
specify a fully qualified hostname in /etc/hosts, together with dhcp. He told me
that dhcp allows the hostname to be specified OR assigned automatically. But
it seems to me that drakconnect does not allow a hostname to be specified with
dhcp. Maybe this is the problem.
I hope I' ve been of help.
cheers!
