Description of problem: Under 5 i386 when using "setup" to setup networking, you are asked if you want to set up networking and get a form where you can enter IP address, network mask, default gateway and the primary nameserver's ip address. Under x86_64 you are asked to chose the network device you want to setup and are asked for the name of the device, the device itself, the static ip, the netmask and the default gateway's IP address, but you cannot enter name server information anywhere. So if you rely on this tool, you end up with a broken resolv.conf, as no nameserver information is put into there. Setting up DHCP works, if you have a dhcp server running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setuptool-1.19.2-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (branding has been removed from that) How reproducible: Run setup on an x86_64 RHEL 5 machine Additional info: This bug has been entered into the centos bug tracker, see http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1910 for more information. Cheers, Ralph
On both architectures, it looks like setuptool is launching /usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui, moving to that package.
Reassigning to component owner.
Proposing for RHEL-5.3 but waiting for developer review for ACK. Read ya, Phil

This bug needs a review from the component owner before granting Devel ACK. Thanks, Read ya, Phil
Granting Devel ACK after review of the package maintainer Thanks, Read ya, Phil
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: * DNS addresses could not be manually entered in either the GUI or text interfaces. This meant that no DNS could be specified if a static IP was used or if DHCP failed to retrieve DNS information. This updated version of system-config-network allows DNS addresses to be set in both graphical and text mode.
