dpkg -l resolvconf will show you now have resolvconf installed. This is actually a good thing as it will dynamically create a new /etc/resolv.conf file if the nameserver info is updated by some server program like dhcp-client. You proably need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and set the dns-* lines. Then run /etc/init.d/resolvconf reload. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
