Re: Dynamic IP but DNS static (3g connection) [SOLVED]

[Xavier Callejas <xavier wflogistics com>]

I have add in:

	'/etc/ppp/options'

the parameter:

	'ipcp-max-failure 30'


And fixed!!! :) Now I can use (k)NetworkManager to connect automatically to my 
3g/GSM mobile connection without modify '/etc/resolv.conf' manually every 
time I connect.

Thanks!!!
