If so, dhclient is probably clobbering /etc/resolv.conf everytime it gets a new lease. You can fix this by adding something like the following to /etc/dhclient.conf: prepend domain-name-servers 10.1.2.3; supersede domain-name "mydomain.com"; This will make 10.1.2.3 the first name server, and set your domain to mydomain.com. man dhclient.conf for more information. - Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
