Binary package hint: network-manager
Hardy Heron 8.04 - latest updates of Linux Kernel and all other packages
excepting OO files.
After setting nm-applet 0.6.6 for the two static IP numbers provided by my ISP
and also setting the dial-up numbers in both the Network Manager and in
pppconfig I still get a redirect to another IP set. This IP set belongs to
another provider and not my own. Best guess is the discovery functions in NM
are moving to the stronger signal instead of the static set. I've tried editing
the resolv.conf and deleting the copy. Even tried loggin with just pon but
still get the same lousy transfer to another ISP's two IP numbers.
I had a similar issue in Gutsy and had to remove the Network Manager, avahi and
some other dhcp related files. I was going to remove some of the same files as
it seemed to solve the problem somewhat before but the dependencies are more
involved this time around and I'd lose my internet dial up access and a load of
other files.
