Another Bookstore installfest, the same old network problem.
Their gateway, DHCP server, and switch combo (somebody's black box)
hands out IP addresses in the range 200.0.0.100 and up. It declares
itself to be a gateway, 200.0.0.200, which behaves as one would
expect.
However, when any of several Linux systems connect to this server, the
local file /etc/resolv.conf is written with the line "nameserver
200.0.0.200" which is not useful. The implication is that the black
box believes itself to be a nameserver, and able to query other
nameservers if it can't resolve the name.
Windows systems connecting to this network receive nameserver
addresses like 66.63.128.xxx and 66.63.128.yyy which both work.
Editing these values into /etc/resolv.conf on the Linux system allows
usual network activity.
Who is doing what wrong?
