I'm running RHv8 on a Fujitsu laptop and connect to my ISP through a
Linksys router. I have the router set up as a DHCP server which works
fine. When the laptop acquires it's data from the server it builds the
necessary /etc/resolv.conf file to deal with DNS through the ISP. All is
fine so far.
I also utilize Cisco's VPN 3000 software to establish a tunnel into my
companies WAN. When this connection is established the VPN software (I'm
assuming) re-writes the /etc/resolv.conf file to valid DNS entries for
the internal WAN. Still all is fine.
The problem is that when DHCP decides to renew the lease it also over
writes the /etc/resolv.conf file with the original settings. The VPN
connection is still active, but DNS is hosed. I've been told that an
easy fix for this is to not use DHCP and just use static IP's. I don't
really want to do that because I travel to different company offices and
just plugging in the box and booting up with DHCP is sooooo nice.
I have done "zero" configuration for DHCP on the linux box other than
telling it that I wanted to use DHCP when I installed v8. Is there some
tricks -or- config settings I can utilize that will eliminate this problem?
Many Thanks, ajTreece (a happy Psyche user)
