First I tried the advice on http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#DHCP ------------------ No matter how you start the DHCP client, you can edit the /etc/dhclient.conf file to not update your DNS according to the dhcp server's idea of DNS by first uncommenting the 'request' lines in it (they are examples of the default settings, but you need to uncomment them to override dhclient's defaults.) request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name, lpr-servers, ntp-servers; and then remove domain-name-servers. Of course, you may want to remove hostname, or other settings too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thant didn't work for me :-( Now My /etc/dhclient.conf looks like this ---------------- initial-interval 1; send host-name "caleb"; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name, supersede domain-name-servers 172.17.1.10; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now this works for me. Hope This helps Kind Regards Siju
