Interesting. THIS box does not have dns-nameservers x.x.x.x in interfaces, it is Lenny, updated to current and does not suffer from this problem. I have never installed that dns- line in interfaces before. This box (call it A): # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.200.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 auto eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf domain damtek.org search damtek.org nameserver 68.87.68.162 nameserver 68.87.74.162 nameserver 68.87.64.196 The bad box (call it B) # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.200.18 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 auto eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.200.1 ------------------ Both run current Lenny. A pulls it's dns from what looks like my home router. B does not. I might have put that dns info there in the past, but if so, it does not get overwritten. I still don't know what is overwritting my B box resolv.conf or why my A box does not suffer from the same fate. The post about man resolvconf points to a solution, but I would like to know what is really going on that both boxes are not effected. btw, I tried man resolv.conf NOT man resolvconf. Good info that, does not explain what is going on between these two boxes, but does show how to fix it once and for all. -- Damon L.
