From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: If I use NetworkManager with my VPN software the DNS service gets reset back to the DNS setup by NetworkManager Process: Use NetworkManager to connect to network. Get proper IP and DNS setup. I use the AT&T Linux client (not publicly available) I connect to the VPN and my resolve.conf changes to the new settings correctly and my ipsec0 device comes up and is usable. Then after a few mins the DNS is reset back to the values originally set by NetworkManager. So I am still connected to my VPN, but I can't look up any hostnames. Taking NetworkManager out of the loop allows my VPN to work correctly. resolv.conf and any other DNS setting should only be changed/updated when a new wireless network is selected in NetworkManager Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect with networkmanager 2. Connect to VPN or change resolve.conf to someother setting manually 3. Wait a few mins and DNS will be reset Actual Results: resolv.conf had values obtained by NetworkManager Expected Results: resolv.conf should remain untouched until new network is selected. Additional info: Disabling NetworkManager and using iwconfig and ifconfig and dhclient to setup the wireless network allows the VPN to work correctly.
Appears to work correctly with the NetworkManager in FC5.
