Description Freek de Kruijf 2008-11-05 15:30:51 UTC

During installation of Beta 4, my 2 laptops are wire connected to my network. DHCP is working on that network. So I do not need to configure anything. Still YaST gives the error message that the network is not available. YaST uses a command with curl some parameters and www.suse.com in it. The error message is the www.suse.com can not be resolved.
However pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F2> and giving the command "dig www.suse.com" shows the IP-address of www.suse.com.
Also configuring an IP-address, netmask, gateway and DNS gives the same problem in YaST, but the dig works OK.
I got this on both a 32bit and 64bit laptop.

See also Bug#441947 which is about this problem after installation.

Please attach also yast logs, see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST.

Reducing severity, this is not a critical bug.

This is the requested tgz file.
Most likely this problem is the same as in Bug#441947 which has to do with the enabling of IPv6 in which case name resolving does not work properly

Comment 4 Jan Kupec 2008-11-11 09:22:18 UTC

Indeed it looks so: name resolution fails, and IPv6 is enabled. Have you tried disabling it just to confirm?
