DNS Servers Disappearing?

[ebtech]

In a previous thread I discussed a problem with the Adept updater.
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3083292.0

I got the problem solved by manually adding dns servers in the network config...but, my dns servers I add manually will not stay. After I reboot, it reverts to my router gateway ip# as the dns server.

Anyone else seen this and is there a fix?

Thx Unicorn, I'll give that a try.

Well...that didn't do it, anyone else?

/etc/resolv.conf is over written everytime the system comes up. I posted about wanting to start a caching name server but this is the problem I am having in getting it up. There seems to be something called avahi that is part of the network manager. This is what is over writing resolv.conf.

1. Kill the beast

sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
sudo mv /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon.exitus

2. Restart / -try

(man avahi-daemon)
