This is a bug I found in Foresight 1.2 (and earlier versions, too, but
I was lazy to report).

Summary: NetworkManager clears the ip addresses of fix-ip nameservers
when you select Wired Network.

This is how it goes:

1. System : Administration : Network
2. Select the DNS tab.
3. Add the DNS Servers and then Close.
4. Click on the NetworkManager Applet and select Wired Network.

Now, all the fix-ip nameservers are lost, which is too bad for you if
you are using LAN with fix-ip nameservers.

Workaround:

Open /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf, add the
nameservers manually and save the file.

Editing /etc/resolv.conf does not help because its content will be
overwritten by the nasty NetworkManager. Only the hard-to-find
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf will keep your
data.
