Re: NM Connection Problem

["Joshua L. Phillips" <jphillips7 ucmerced edu>]

Hey Jim,

NM uses a local caching nameserver (named) for DNS resolution, so your 
setup looks correct... NM tells named about the DNS servers supplied by 
the AP via D-BUS (messagebus). If named can't find an IP in the local 
cache, it will contact the DNS servers provided by the AP.

However, there could be complications because of this. You should be 
running the messagebus and named services for things to work properly. 
You might want to check that both of these are running. On my machine (I 
run FC5 also) NM will automatically start the named service before it 
starts (if named was not already running.)

So, it sounds like you are having other problems... What is NM reporting 
in your logs (/var/log/messages)?
