After successfully getting my CDMA modem to work in SuSe 10.2, I am really happy and enjoying browsing the net on SuSe. But all of the sudden for the past two to three days I experienced a strange problem when trying to connect. I got this message, after the connection was made:
–> Script /etc/ppp/ip-up run successful
–> Default route Ok.
–> warning, can’t find address for `www.suse.de`
–> warning, address lookup does not work
–> Nameserver (DNS) failure, the connection may not work.
–> Connected… Press Ctrl-C to disconnect
Now I was in a fix, how every I tried I could not get the it working, I rebooted and tried in Windoze :-), there it worked fine. So I was hell bent on finding out the cause of this problem.
To find the solution, I turned to the internet, but the results were disappointing. All of them suggested to check the /etc/resolve.conf (for nameserver line) and the /etc/wvdial.conf (for Auto DNS line). I was sure this was not the problem as it was connecting before.
Finally, after much struggle I found the culprit, it was ‘dhcpcd‘ - DHCP client daemon, I was really feeling stupid for not identifying it at the first point when DNS failure message came up.
So just started this and immediately I stopped getting the failure message. Enjoy currently, do you have an other alternate solution, do write back in the comments.

I have the same problem. Can you tell me in steps how you solved the problem.
have i to stop the ‘dhcpcd‘ - DHCP client daemon before makeing a connection ?
dhcp give you a dynamic ip address, it is not static, and every 30 min you have to renew the ip address this is the job of dhcp protocol,.
i think it’s a concept problem. not very sure. but read the
TCP/IP suit by Behrouz A. Forouzan.
you might solve this problem with your own.
