AVM Fritz!Box SL WLAN does not provide IP-Adddress of DNS Server

Hi,

eventually I managed to establish a WLAN connection between my AVM
Fritz!Box SL WLAN and my IBM TP R51 under SuE Linux 9.3. The connection
uses DHCP. Encryption is currently OFF for testing.

The signal strength is perfect and I can ping the Fritz!Box under the IP
address assigned by DHCP.

However, the FritzBox does not provide a DNS server address. E.g. Firefox
says "Looking for .....".

Who can help ?

Thanks in advance.

Heinrich

Have you tried with the DNS servers of your ISP in the network config.
