I think that I have may have found the answer to my problem. This thread talks about a DHCP server having an incorrect DNS setting. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3674
I tried rebooting while my DHCP server was switched off. in that case I noted that /etc/resolv.conf had the expected values and network-admin had my desired location. However once the DHCP server (http://pigtail.net/LRP/index.html) finished booting the DNS values were set to dud values and network-admin changed to using an unnamed location. -- [network-admin] net-mgr doesn't remember location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
