After an update from 11.0 to 11.1 . I am no longer able to resolve any host names. I can ping my default gateway as well as the address of other computers on the network.All i get with the result of a ping is the unknown host error. Internet was working fine with a static IP before the update. Any help would be appreciated.

Rest assured, “the internet” is still working. Check if you have entries
in your /etc/resolv.conf , which is the main config file regarding your
local DNS resolver.
Kind regards,

I only have one and that is the DNS server that its supposed to be. It just puzzles my why it would just change like that after the upgrade. I have not made any changes to my NIC.

Can you post the results of:
/sbin/ifcongig -a
/sbin/route
cat /etc/resolv.conf
You can use place holders for any public IPs.

Oops, its: “ifconfig”

I will try and find a way to post the output, as I am away from that machine. I do know now that it is only when I configure a static ip address.
When you configure static IP-addresses, you must also add DNS-server(s) manually, new netconfig-scheme allows you even more options how to handle DNS-severs (especially when using DHCP).
sounds suspiciously like you need to disable ipv6 in yast/NetworkDevices/NetworkSettings/GlobalOptions… happened to me too.
Go to yast2>network devices and check you have the correct ifo for the network card: If its a static ip address, check you have the nameservers and default gateway set up.
I have found that it loses the default gateway address when you make changes.
If its a dhcp address, you ideally need to set the dhcp server to give nameserver and gateway addresses.
Thanks you all for your reply’s. I was able to fix the problem by using a different nameserver.
