Using rc.local to fix the DNS is an ugly hack and if left in place will 100% cause you problems in the future.
You keep saying you have a WAP and a router - is this 2 devices? We should only care about 1. - which of these devices does your laptop connect to? - wifi or Ethernet connection? - are you using networkmanager, wicd, or rc.inet1 to bring up the network? Please describe your entire hardware/software setup. By adding a line to rc.local you have literally doubled the number of times resolv.conf is written during boot which will come back to haunt you. -Ben On Sun, May 26, 2019, 12:49 PM Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, 26 May 2019, Rich Shepard wrote: > > > Not as far as I know.
