Hello Philippe, in openSUSE 10.3 (where everything works well), in the /etc/sysconfig/network/config file exists the simple and interesting option: ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # There are some services (ppp, ippp, dhcp-client, pcmcia, hotplug) that have to # change the /etc/resolv.conf dynamically at certain times. E.g. if ppp/ippp # establishes a connection and is supplied by the peer with a list of # nameservers. Or pcmcia needs to set the correct nameserver for the choosen # configuration scheme. If you don't like these services to change # /etc/resolv.conf at all, then set this variable to "no". # If unsure, leave it at the default (which is "yes"). # MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY="yes" in openSUSE 11.4 (where the problems with resolv.conf arise), I find instead the following DNS relatet options: NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="auto" NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER_FALLBACK="yes" NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST="" NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="" NETCONFIG_DNS_RANKING="auto" Please, give me some time to read (and hopefully, unterstand) the related man pages. Of course I would appreciate to get some hints :-) In SuSE, the default dialer is Kinternet/Qinternet, not kppp. I have no experience with kppp, am a bit short of time, so I ask for your understanding that I will not tune into this issue.
