Re: [LUG] SUSE 8.2+ Gnome and pppd



I can't understand why this resolv.conf issue is still a problem with suse,
this seems to have been a problem for the last few distros releases.

The first thing to check is if /etc/resolv.conf does exist. If it doesn't,
then you need to create it.
It should look similar to: -

nameserver isp.dns.server.addr
nameserver isp.backupdns.server.addr

If it does exist, then do an ls -al and check the permissions on the file. I
think they should be -rw-r--r--
