a) It was configured through wicd's interface. b) I think you are probably on the right track here. The DNS server was set as my router since it passes on request. When I disabled it, I also disabled static DNS. Now /etc/resolv.conf has two extra entries first to actual DNS servers.
But wouldn't you know it, I can't even replicate the exact problem by setting a static IP and /etc/resolve.conf only containing the static DNS of my router. However, I've been having some other networking issues after setting the router to be the DNS. It seems to be causing the router to fall over. Sorry for what seems to be a false alert. The thing that grinds my gears is that I've been looking for a solution for a while now, but happened upon a single mention on a forum that qemu user-mode networking sometimes has problems with a static wireless host device. In short, I think we can probably close this as being a problem with my router. At least there is more information available in case anyone ends up in the same situation. -- Guest with user net can't access external network when host has static IP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
