Feeling a bit embarrassed here. Recently I seem to screwed up my network related stuff on my Debian Testing machine running KDE.
Earlier, my network card was being monitored by network manager. Recently due to various changes, I had the need to give my network card a fixed address. To do so, I took out the following line from /etc/network/interfaces: # The primary network interface #allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp And inserted the following (dhcp address is always a fixed one from the router): auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp ##iface eth0 inet static ## address 192.168.1.139 ## network 192.168.1.0 ## netmask 255.255.255.0 ## broadcast 192.168.1.255 ## gateway 192.168.1.1 ## nameserver 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Now, at various changes, e.g. when I plugin in the Tomtom usb device (which appears at a network device(!) ), I lose dns information. I can fix that by manually specifying the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, but what I am sure is why and who erases that from the resolv.conf file. I am running KDE. The major thing that changed is that I am now using a different router in a shared connection (earlier, I was using my own router running Tomato). I can get the networking to work (at least I think so), using the following lines in interfaces: auto eth0 # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager iface eth0 inet dhcp Is this the right way to do so? And, how do I setup the nameservers I should be using? How do I tell this "auto-configuration" to ignore the dhcp nameservers and to use the ones I specify instead?
