system overwrites resolv.conf

[corey84]

Hi,
Im running dapper and i had to change my resolv.conf so i could access the net but everytime i leave the comp for a while the system overwrites resolv.conf so everytime i want to get on the net i have to edit the file as root save and go from there..
Is there any way to stop the system from overwriting this file? or is this a bug?

Re: system overwrites resolv.conf

to resolve this problem I had to do the following

open /etc/dchp3/dhclient.conf
and change these settings

uncomment line that saya

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.01;

put your ISP's DNS servers ip address in lou of 127.0.0.1 (if more than one seperate by commas).
next I had to change the next line which should look something like this

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;

i needed to remove the entry that says domain-name-servers

all works now and my resolv.conf doesnt get overwritten with junk DNS info, just the info i want there

hope this solution helps others out who have a similar problem
