[Scratchbox-devel] Network issue in Scratchbox

Hi list,

    I encountered a problem using Scratchbox 1.0.7 on my notebook.

My sandbox worked perfectly, and I was able of pinging any host from 
inside Scratchbox.

I moved from my network to a different one. So I had to change the 
network configuration of my PC from a static IP to DHCP.
I rebooted the PC, then I discovered that the network inside 
Scratchbox did not work anymore: I was not able of pinging any host.

After about half hour, I discovered the existance of the 
/scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf file (different than the /etc/resolv.conf 
file inside Scratchbox and the /etc/resolv.conf of the host machine).

I found out that the DNS inside that file was wrong because it has not 
been updated when I had changed network settings.

So, my question is: why this file is not just a link to the 
/etc/resolv.conf file of the PC, so that it is automatically updated 
whenever the _main_ resolv.conf file is changed ??

Thanks,

        Claudio
