Hello,
On a system that utilize dhcp to connect to the
Internet via dhcpcd, and dnsmasq is configured to
use /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf, if dnsmasq is started
before dhcpcd completes start-up operation, then
dnsmasq will fail to find /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf, and
falls back to serving local network only.
As a result, all local utilities depending on dnsmasq
for external dns service will fail, all machines on
the lan will not have access to the Internet.
Normal behaviour of dnsmasq is to poll
/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf for every request that it
can not resolve locally. Why does it fail?
However, where a one is so confidence that the
network is properly configured, it is so easy to be
looking for problem on a lan machine, when in actual
sense, the problem is on the gateway.
This explains the reason for my lack of Internet
connection.
Thanks,
Larry.
