It sounds like you're more interested in knowing why the Actiontek DSL modem is setup this way than a workaround.
But, in case you do want a workaround to this retardedness you could try the following: In the '/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider' file, comment out the "usepeerdns" line, This way your resolv.conf file won't be overwritten and you can point at whatever DNS you want to. I just did away with all my DNS troubles by installing DNS cache. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
