dns and adsl

hi, having this trouble with dns on my linux router, connected to internet
through adsl, and masquerading to the lan on 192.168.*.*. All works fine in
the normal case, but. The thing is that my isp has this crazy configuration
that I need to unplug the mains of the adsl router for atleast 2 hours to
change dynamic ip. This is wrong according to me, but that is the way their
system is set up. So, when I sometimes unplug the adsl card, and start the
router(a suse linux box) it of course gets no ip address,neither does dns
work. if I then plug in the adsl router to the mains the router gets the ip
after a short while, but the dns does not work. In other words I need to
reboot the router (and having mains to adsl box) to get onto the net. How
can this rebooting be avoided? What I am searching for is a way to get the
adsl link with address, and also get dns working, at the same time without
rebooting. Thank you for your help.

Hello Fjoka,

What what dynamic name service do you use for the assignment of your
domain to your dynamic ip address? Dyndns.org?

Which client to the service do you use to refresh the the domain's IP
(in this case your dynamic IP) to the dynamic name service?

Look in the config files of this client and set the refresh time to
about 5 minutes (almost every dyndns client supports this).

Normally it should be the same config file where you entered your
login name and password for the dynamic DNS service.

I hope you searched in google before you sent this question.

this is not about domains. The domain is what it is. This is a adsl link
with dynamic ip configuration used as a home office, ipmasquerading to
192.168.0.*.

Oh... sorry I understood the question wrong.

Since you have a SuSE box, first set it not to query for the ISP's dns
server automatically(I think some SuSE ISP configs have a problem with
this, I haven't used SuSE for years)...

Edit /etc/ppp/ip-up and modify the line

$USEPEERDNS "true"

to

$USEPEERDNS "false"

.... then edit the /etc/resolv.conf file as following:

domain your.isp.domain (normally you don't need this line)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.x (your ISP's name server address I'm sure you
will find this information)

If the /etc/resolv.conf file doesn't exist, then create it.

Hope this helps.
