Hi, I have a laptop that sometimes is on fixed ip wireless networks. Since dhcp is not involved, there is nothing that updates resolvconf, which could be pointing to an inaccurate set of servers.
The solution, in my case, was to add the following star and stop functions to the relevant stanza's (edit for the static dns servers) # Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface start_fn () { [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] && \ echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | /sbin/resolvconf -a $DEVICE; [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] && \ echo "nameserver 192.168.1.10" | /sbin/resolvconf -a $DEVICE; [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] && \ echo "nameserver 198.6.1.4" | /sbin/resolvconf -a $DEVICE; } # Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface stop_fn () { [ -x /sbin/resolvconf ] && /sbin/resolvconf -d $DEVICE; } manoj -- What's love but a second-hand emotion?
