Hello,
I am trying to connect to my wireless network which I can do but DNS not working. I can ping everything on my network and can access my router, but cannot ping google.com or yahoo.com, however I can ping their IPs. Everything else on my network works fine.
Just see the content of your /etc/resolv.conf file. That is where you should see your DNS entries:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
You should get that from the router along with the IP address. If for some reason, you are not getting it, you can even update that manually.
(If you are using the traditional ifup, there is a place in the Yast configuration to specify whether DNS entries from the DHCP service to be accepted or not).
I have tried setting a static IP with manual Names Servers, the one my router sends (its default gateway) and also 2.2.2.1/2.2.2.2, and still no change with either.
When I run cat /etc/resolv.conf, it tells me to remove one line “nameserver 192.168.10.244” that is an address (not for my network) that was set manually for the ethernet card, not sure if it would effect the wireless (it shouldn’t)?
I am not using ifup because when that is enabled then network manager will not start and I do not know how to connect to wireless networks.
I just tried a wired connection with the same results…
I tried networkmanager and ifup, DHCP and Static. Still can ping only IPs but no names (dns issue).
We need more info. Invoke this script. It may detect your problem and give an appropriate error message. Otherwise post the result file somewhere on a public webspace and post it’s link in this thread.
