OK, I will try that, but I am not sure, whether I have described
well the problem. whereami testing proceeds well (and
/etc/whereami/im correctly contains lines ppp,surfbest), but THEN
when using fping/ping/dig/host on command line it is not able to
find anything.
What is even more strange is that even now, when I am on the
university LAN the things doesn't work. When I do things
manually, i.e.:
cardctl insert
ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0
I get working network connection (ping works like a charm --
although DNS resolution is still slow). However, when I use
whereami (see attached .conf files) it agains detect things
correctly (lan,dhcp,neu in iam file), but DNS resolution again
doesn't work at all (see attached copy of stderr when running
whereami).
/sbin/dhclient is a link to /sbin/dhclient3 and otherwise
everything is plain woody (setmailrelay script is from testing
distribution -- I have exim here). Output from host -v neu.edu
and /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases are also attached.
Any thoughts?
