Dear Philippe,
I think your hint to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465679
really solves the problem:
I didn't understand what they were saying but I have put
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC_FALLBACK ppp0 NetworkManager"
into my /etc/sysconfig/network/config (or equivalently into the
mask of the editor of YAST for the Network-configuration under
/etc/sysconfig).
Now if I plug off the ethernet cable and do $wvdial I get a
working internet connection and
ppp's DNS-address is dynamically added to /etc/resolv.conf:
search localdomain site
nameserver 195.50.140.248
nameserver 145.253.2.203
nameserver 192.168.0.1
I still couldn't make kppp work (it says "modem doesn't answer")
but I hope to resolve this issue also.
Many thanks for your help!
Wolfgang

Hello Ludwig, Wolfgang,
Have a look at this openSUSE bugzilla :
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465679
I think this can indeed help you. This is very openSUSE specific
Kind regards to both.

Hello all,
DHCP is installed, the system accepts to get adresses from a router with
DHCP server.
Added usepeerdns to /etc/ppp/options. As described in man pppd, the
following files were created:
/var/run/ppp_resolv.conf.ppp0
nameserver 195.129.111.50
nameserver 195.129.111.49
/var/run/ppp_resolv.conf.dsl0
nameserver 217.0.43.1
nameserver 217.0.43.193
...but apparently not passed to pppd ("ppp 2.4.5-5.1-i586 from vendor
openSUSE"). Browsing via dial-up modem failed. The nameserver addresses are
correct.
My DSL device is new, but rather old fashioned. It is merely a modem, not a
router. It does nothing else than convert IP-packages to DSL format and
vice versa. It can not be configured, it gets the internet access data
every time it is startet from pppd resp. smpppd.

Ludwig

Betreff: Re: pppd and DNS [WAS:Driver for 536ep-Modem does not compile]
Dear Ludwig,
Please forgive me to remind here, since I do not know you, that
wvdial/wdialconf are not programs that operate the communication but
rather friendly utilities that prepare the parameters (data) for the
real program which does the work, pppd.
Now please can you tell us if there is or not a line usepeerdns in
your file /etc/ppp/options
If there is not, please add that line.
Then please try to connect to your analog modem ISP with wvdial and Auto
DNS = yes, do not worry for what there is or not in /etc/resolv.conf
because in this case pppd should NOT use /etc/resolv.conf, disconnect
the cable from DSL to PC to make sure that you use the analog modem, and
try to surf the Web, like Google or others. Does it work?
If it works (it should), reconnect your DSL, make it work by adding the
DSL DNS in /etc/resolv.conf if necessary (see Note) and give the
following commands in a separate window as superuser (the first takes
time), while wvdial (pppd) is still running: updatedb ,then this long
composite command for f in `locate resolv.conf* `;do echo $f;cat
$f;done so that you can see the contents of the various
resolv.conf present on your computer.
Note: if your DSL box is not old, and I am sure you were given a brand
new one since DSL is new in your place, configure your PC (Linux) for
the DSL connection to take DNS's from the DSL box (do not define
/etc/resolv.conf and make it clear in the network s\manager
definitions, no local name server, no local DNS). Your DSL box normally
comes configured such that the DSL box takes itself automatically the
DNS addresses from the network. You may want,and even need, to check
that your DSL box is configured like that. That way you should not hear
of DNS's any more once you have usepeerdns in your /etc/ppp/options
.

Jacques

With "Auto DNS = yes" in wvdial.conf, DNS addresses show up in the
wvdial protocol, when running wvdial (ISP: www.yooline.de ), whether
network manager is activated or not. wi And whether network manager is
activated or not, I have to edit resolv.conf manually. Since a few
weeks, DSL exists here in my village, 12 km afar from Brunswick (so much
about the highly industrialisated etc. country Germany), and with my DSL
_modem_ (not a modem _router_!) I have the same effect: DNS addresses
must be transferred manually to resolv.conf. Seems to be an openSUSE
11.4 issue.
