Cable Internet DNS Problem

Hi Clan, I have moved to MDK 9.1 and since then I have a weird DNS problem: Every time I restart the network or connect to the Net (using NetVision's cablestart script) the /etc/resolv.conf file gets overwritten with the following contents: # cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.101.101

Simple. Does any one of your network cards uses DHCP to get its IP address? If it does, then the DHCP server may also change the DNS settings, hence, the resolv.conf changes. (My Internet connection script, also restores the old resolv.conf after I connect to the ISP) -- Take care, Gilboa Davara

Except that it is an ugly patch. You did find the core of the problem, however. Ugly indeed, I must agree. Linux gives you the power to find and correct the problem, not so with the time nessecarry to do so... . So now we only get to the solution - is there any way to configure DHCP client

tcpdump and iptables

I am using iptables on my system. It is very basic setup that denies all outside connections. When an outside connection is attempted, the packet is dropped and logged into the syslog. When I run tcpdump on the same interface, I do see a lot of ARP requests and bootps/bootpc (UDP) requests.

Stepping in a bit late on this thread, just a point of clarification: Bezeq does not turn off PPTP, or turn on PPPoE for that matter, at any time. Nor do they need to support these protocols in any way. PPTP is spoken between your PC (or router) and the modem. Bezeq (or the ISP) do not see PPTP
