The NetworkManager on my Laptop always retrieves the DNS IP 192.168.1.1 from the ADSL modem/router (this is of course the address of the router itself). This seems to work fine, i.e., web browsing etc. However ssh is very slow to log in (> 20s). If I manually replace the 192.168.1.1 by some static DNS servers from the provider, everything works at the expected speed. However NetworkManager always puts the retrieved number whenever it reconnects, and I could not find a way to disable this behaviour. I used nslookup to make some IP->NAME and NAME->IP lookups which worked as quickly as it should, even with 192.168.1.1 as a server. Apparently yum is also affected. What do ssh and yum do other than make IP<->NAME translations? -- Gérard Milmeister Langackerstrasse 49 CH-8057 Zürich
