Check in /sbin/dhclient-script I commented the part right near the top that updates that file. Now all is well, you just need to remember to do it again after a installworld. :) Todd -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Leonard Zettel Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 10:27 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: resolv.conf overwrite Following The Complete FreeBSD p 480 I created the following /etc/resolv.conf # Changed by Len Zettel 4/11/01 #----------removed------------- # search # nameserver 192.168.0.185 # ------------------------------ # ---------Added--------------- domain Oz. nameserver 204.254.120.6 # Bignet primary nameserver nameserver 204.254.120.7 # Bignet secondart nameserver #------------------------------------------------------ I was then happy as a clam at high tide at being able to ping domain names on the net. :-) This looked like PROGRESS! (One step at a time division). Then I rebooted :-( /etc/resolv.conf now contained search nameserver 192.168.0.185 Tentative conclusion: something in the boot sequence is fooling with (probably creating) /etc/resolv.conf So, what do I change to stop this? Or should I not be trying to stop it? And doing something else entirely? And where can I read about THAT? My access to the net is via DSL with a Windows machine as gateway running a package calle SyGate. (Yes, technically DUMB, DUMB, DUMB) except for one thing: it works. Even I got it working. When (not IF, optimist that I am) I get Free BSD running well under this setup we'll work on changing it. Hopefully a step at a time.
