When I select my roaming (dhcp) profile in nm, for instance, then the static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces disappears. I may have had a look at nm-connection-editor (Gnome System->Preferences->Network Configuration) but didn't see any useful settings there (the new 0.7 version seems to have more but I only had a brief glimpse without configuring settings), so I've been using System->Administration->Network instead. > If you want to pass dns info to NM and you are using /e/n/i, you should use a > > dns-nameservers and dns-search stanza (see the resolvconf man page). > > If you are using the keyfile plugin, you have to configure a dns server via > nm-connection-editor under IPv4-Settings. I typed in the dns info using the Network Settings (nm) tool, in the DNS tab and saved it to the fixed Location which I've been having to select to reset resolv.conf. I haven't been touching /e/n/i manually at all. I don't know what the keyfile plugin is so I haven't been using it as far as I know. Is there a way to check if it might be mixing up my configuration accidentally? Drew
