Description Alex Butcher 2000-05-04 21:47:33 UTC 
DNS server IP addresses aren't copied into /etc/resolv.conf on
establishing a connection.
Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-05-22 18:47:59 UTC 
Is the remote end actually supplying DNS server names?  Is PEERDNS set properly
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp*?
Comment 2 Alex Butcher 2000-05-22 20:44:59 UTC 
Hi -

In answer to your question, no, I don't think the remote end /is/ supplying
DNS server names, which is why I entered the two IP addresses of my DNS servers
in rp3-config->edit->Advanced->First/Second DNS Server (optional).

I hadn't used linuxconf to setup the dialup connection first (which I suspect
might have worked), I just used rp3-config.

I eventually hacked the files manually, which got me working, but it would be
nice for newbies if rp3-config worked out-of-the-box.

Cheers,
Alex.

This *should* be fixed in the latest Raw Hide build of initscripts.  There was
some goofy logic in ifup-post that dealt with use of the DNS1 and DNS2 values
which rp3-config edits.
