 Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2007 1:42 pm Post subject: resolv.conf not updating [solved] |
 |
|
I put a fresh Gentoo install on my work laptop this weekend (at home), and everything works great until I boot it up on the network at work. It's set up to use dhcp (both my home and work networks are using dhcp), but when I boot it up at work, I get no DNS access because resolv.conf still has the info from my home network. Why isn't dhcpcd updating resolv.conf? Or am I doing something else wrong?
My /etc/conf.d/net file is pretty standard...
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"

can you also post corresponding part of your dhcpd.conf from dhcp server?

I don't have a /etc/conf.d/dhcpd...
The dhcp client I emerged when installing was dhcpcd though. Should /etc/conf.d/dhcpd exist? There's no /etc/init.d/dhcpd either.

| dhcpd is the "server version" that hands out the information. So it would be located on the "DHCP Server" not your local computer. |

What I meant was the config of DHCP server which is assigning you IP address. If dhcpd server does not include info about dns, it might happen that's not the client problem.

I geuss the option nodns in your /etc/conf.d/net file avoids you to get any dns information.

Removing it does indeed fix it. I suppose I should have already tried that, but I was absolutely sure the comments pertaining to it in net.example meant something else.  Thank you very much for pointing out the obvious but overlooked solution.
