Re: [newbie] 2006, vmware, and networking

Hi,
     You dont need to switch to fix IP. Here, from man dhcpcd  :


NAME
       dhcpcd - DHCP client daemon

SYNOPSIS
       dhcpcd      [-dknrBCDHNRSTY]     [-t <timeout>]     [-c <ExecFilePath>]
            [-h <hostname>]        [-i <vendorClassID>]        [-I <clientID>]
            [-l <leasetime>]  [-s [ipaddr]]  [-G [gateway]]  [-w <windowsize>]
            [-L <ConfigDir>] [interface]

  -R     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/resolv.conf file.

Am I miss something ?? Then, sorry. Just trying to help....

As I said yesterday, I am on 10.1, not 2006, but I have seen this happen (i.e.

resolv.conf getting overwritten) when using DHCP. Switching to fixed IP's

fixed this problem for me.

HTH,
