I'm curious as to what domain name you'd expect to see, snd what it
would do for you?
I'd expect to see something like <hostname>.wibble.three.com etc., the
reason why I ask is because Evolution likes to have a FQDN when posting
to news via leafnode which I use on my laptop. If there's no FQDN or an
invalid one, leafnode refuses to accept any posts.
This is only a problem when away from home. When at home I do have a
proper FQDN from my router.
OK, thanks. I just wondered, as I've never perceived a need for a FQDN when
using a mobile link. I don't use Evolution.
I do find an irritating problem with 3 in that sometimes it fails to
provide DNS addresses, and I have to disconnect and re-connect to pick them
up. I'm pretty sure it's not a NM issue, just something glitchy with their
connections or maybe the sh*t ZTE modem. :(. Seems to be worse with low
signal strength, so maybe the link just loses the info. and never re-tries.
Do you ever get that?
Cheers, Rick
