DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002
 
I can reach sites by IP address but not by name.

Is independent of what access point I connect to.

If I put in a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf, it works OK.

I've the same problem when connecting to wifi. Reboot of the device helps most of the times.

Put line

nameserver 127.0.0.1

into /etc/resolv.conf AND into /etc/vpnc/resolv.conf-backup
Package vpnc does some copying back and forth both files but it may at some point destroy one of them ---> you lose DNS during connection setup. Bug in vpnc, I filled it to them (not Maemo, because at that time they don't have a slot in bugs.maemo.org)

I found i had /etc/dnsmasq.dpkg-dist file that contained the new dnsmasq conf and i was still running the old version pointing to non-existent /tmp/resolv* files!

No.
Can you write a little more details? File /etc/dnsmasq doesn't exist but it should be /etc/dnsmasq.conf and you may find file /etc/dnsmasq.conf.dpkg-dist

Just double check before next steps...

Random!

But i must say a huuuge thank you to all of you have have stuck around to help us/me out on here.
Please use line

apt-get install --reinstall -d libicd-network-ipv4

as DaveQB wrote previously.

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi
 
I have the same problem = I can't look up web addresses when using WIFI. It connects fine and I get a IP.

I have the following in the /etc/resolv.conf file:
"nameserver 127.0.0.1"

Is that correct? If not, what do I need to write in /etc/resolv.con???

Thanks

It is correct, but more info is need - when you see it - before using wifi or during using wifi? Did you even install vpnc?

The problem with manually changing resolv.conf is most DHCP software will overwrite that when you connect via DHCP. I don't know specifically what the N900 does or has.. but I'd be wary of that.

I think the real problem isn't the resolv.conf's... but that script file discussed before. I believe that fires off whatever tool or utility that then creates the appropriate resolv.conf file for you.
