Description Simon Oldfield 2000-10-24 20:21:17 UTC
How do I stop a PPP connection setup using rp3-config and dialed using rp3
from doing the "usepeerdns" stuff?  Despite the fact that my ISP sends me
some DNS settings I DON'T want to use them.

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-10-25 21:49:18 UTC
In rp3-config, if you select a connection and hit "Edit", and then go to the
"Advanced" tab, there is an option listed as "Configure name resolution
automtically".  Uncheck that box.

Comment 2 Simon Oldfield 2000-11-15 21:20:59 UTC
If I use rp3-config to change the "advanced" properties of my dial-up connection
to turn automatic name resolution config OFF then rp3 dies with a segmentation
fault from then on.

If I set up a "standard" dial-up connection, and then edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 file adding the PEERDNS=no line myself
then rp3 works a treat.

It looks as though rp3-config is adding an incorrect entry into this file or
something?
