My Debian laptop has several ways to have network connection: Ethernet, wifi and USB (the latter is used together with my Nokia N900, which has a DHCP server). I have the following problem, when doing:
1. Connect via wifi, using DHCP (as usual). /etc/resolv.conf is modified accordingly, as expected. 2. Connect my Nokia N900 via USB, also using DHCP. The problem is that /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten, and if I do not enable wifi or GPRS/3G connection on my N900, DNS resolution no longer works. Overwriting /etc/resolv.conf is expected when there is only the USB connection (the N900 being used as a router, so that I can get an Internet connection via GPRS/3G when no wifi hotspots are available); otherwise it should not be modified, IMHO. Does anyone have any solution that does *not* require manual changes (when I want to change the way I connect)? I've seen some possible solution on http://serverfault.com/questions/223427/dhclient-append-settings-from-multiple-dhcp-servers but clean-up (not mentioned there) appears to be complex. In my case, I don't think I need a merge. The following behavior should be OK, if possible: if there is already a default route, then the DHCP client should not modify "/etc/resolv.conf". -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
