Put ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8’ into base (or tail) and it should always get added to resolv.conf every reboot. (You might look at all 3 files, my favourite trick for this is: more /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*|less and see what’s in them before you start.) -- :-)~MIKE~(-: --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
