[Bug 1319805] Re: DNS confused with multiple interfaces (eth/wlan)

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
A workaround may be to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and
comment out the line "dns=dnsmasq".

** Description changed:

- Using a laptop with a hardware switch for enable/disable WLAN.
- Connected to two different LANs using DHCP on ETH/WLAN.
+ I have a laptop with a hardware switch to enable or disable the WLAN
+ interface.
  
- When both interfaces are active (in different networks), the system uses the LAN interface as the default route as expected.
- But it does not use the the nameserver on that interface consistently.
- It often tries to use the WLAN nameserver which leads to trouble as the WLAN nameserver does not know about the hosts on the LAN.
+ I am connected to two different LANs using DHCP via eth and wlan,
+ respectively.
+ 
+ When both interfaces are active (in different networks), the system uses
+ the LAN interface as the default route as expected.
+ 
+ However, it does not use the the nameserver on that interface
+ consistently. It often tries to use the WLAN nameserver which leads to
+ trouble as the WLAN nameserver does not know about the hosts on the LAN.
  
  The nameserver should be taken from the same interface as the default
  route to avoid messups.
  
  Ubuntu 12.04 did not have that behavior.

Title:
  DNS confused with multiple interfaces (eth/wlan)

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a laptop with a hardware switch to enable or disable the WLAN
  interface.

  I am connected to two different LANs using DHCP via eth and wlan,
  respectively.

  When both interfaces are active (in different networks), the system
  uses the LAN interface as the default route as expected.

  However, it does not use the the nameserver on that interface
  consistently. It often tries to use the WLAN nameserver which leads to
  trouble as the WLAN nameserver does not know about the hosts on the
  LAN.

  The nameserver should be taken from the same interface as the default
  route to avoid messups.

  Ubuntu 12.04 did not have that behavior.
