Can't use repo unless I specify the server by IP

[speretz]

I am currently using 11.2 with KDE but I have had this problem with Gnome and 11.2 RC 1 & 2.

This started as an inability to use the internet but I found a way to disable ipv6 in /etc/fstab and I disable it in firefox and that has got me 99% functional. My only issue left is not being able to use any repos unless I can specify a server by IP.

I have the opensuse repos working by looking at the mirror list and found one that did not use a DNS name and that was the end of that, but I cannot access packman or any others yet.

Any ideas?

If you delete /etc/resolv.conf and remake the network connection, does that help?

Nope. No change.

How about if you

sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

That's Google's nameserver FYI
