$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile #dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=false -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968043 Title: network manager, manually specifying DNS servers for PPPoE connection does not work Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It seems network manager will not take into account the fact that I choose to only get my IP address from the ISP via DHCP. I selected the relevant option in the configuration panel. If I click on "connection information" it will show me as using the DNS servers I had specified but doing a "nslookup google.com" revealed that I was using my ISPs DNS. I will attach relevant screenshot and log file.
