Greetings.

Setting up my fuel for installing the soon-to-arrive o2 gives me headaches again...

I try to change my network settings so she takes my new router/network as default, but it always resets to the old settings.

New: 192.168.178/24 with Gateway/NS: 192.168.178.1
Old: 192.168.0/24 with Gateway/NS: 192.168.0.254

Domain name is cause of the fritz!box: fritz.box

So i put in hosts

Code: Select all


192.168.178.65  fuel.fritz.box  fuel

resolv.conf before boot

Code: Select all


domain fritz.box


nameserver 192.168.178.1

resolv.conf after boot

Code: Select all


domain


nameserver 192.168.0.254

/etc/config/static-route.options

Code: Select all


$ROUTE $QUIET add -net default 192.168.178.1

I enabled dhcp, ran the network config with every user in every possibility to change the network settings in every way, no chance.

On every reboot the same settings in resolv.conf

Why, oh why, oh why?

The old router is still connected and answers the DHCP queries faster than the new one?

It's fairly normal that a DHCP client rewrites the resolv.conf, although I don't have much experience with DHCP on IRIX.

Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet

It turns out that when reset, the WD33C93 defaults to a SCSI ID of 0, and it was simpler to leave it that way... -- Dave Olson, in comp.sys.sgi

Uhm, no, the old router is long gone.

And i also tried running network without dhcp client.

never use dhcp unless you need it for some weird reason.
the resolv.conf of 6.5.x doesn't need the domain entry. i'd just leave it out and get the rest sorted in hosts

I would fix this on my BSD boxes by setting the immutable flag, but try this:

Set the resolved.conf the way you want then chmod the file 444 and see if that prevents it being written to.
