Re: DNS wierdness on a TiBook running unstable



can ping the DNS servers (or any numeric address), but ping cannot
resolve any names. Galeon cannot seem to resolve any names either. The
bizare thing is that dig, host, and the deprecated nslookup have no
problems...
...
Any ideas?

Have you tried just restarting Galeon? I'm doing something similar to you, except that I have scripts that reconfigure eth0 based on where I'm located. Actually, all I do is copy in the correct interfaces and resolv.conf files, and then ifdown ; ifup

I find that after switching networks, stuff like telnet adapts to the new regime just fine, but Mozilla stubbornly refuses to see the new DNS servers until it is restarted. But I only have to restart the app, not the 'book.
