Hi Samuel, thanks to reply! You are right, there was problem. And I saw this option, but I messed up this "remote-random-hostname" (in nm-connection-editor checkbox with notation "Prefix remote DNS name with random string" and context help bubble "Adds a random string to remote DNS name to awoid DNS caching. config: remote-random-hostname ") with previously mentioned option "Randomize remote hosts" and help bubble "Randomize the order of gateways list (remote) as kind of basic load-balancing measure. config: remote-random " - and because I have only one host, I assumed there could be no problem. And I also change this option to "no" - but editing config file with normal text editor (not nm-connection-editor) - which was also wrong (connection are perhaps cached, and 'external' editing will not load the configuration ;) But - somehow I don't understand - this wonderful feature (hostname randomizing == disabling its resoulution/usage) that will cause the connection to not work - does it have any real use? Has anyone gone crazy? Or am I crazy? --- Thanks, Franta Hanzlik _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
