A couple of simple options: Set up your DHCP client configuration file to not get DNS server addresses from the DHCP server. Look up "supersede" and "domain-name-servers" in the dhclient.conf man file - there's an example near the bottom of it that could serve as a template for your needs. Configure your DHCP server to send your client the right DNS server addresses for it. It can do this for all clients, or just for this particular one. The latter would be the better option, then you can move the client from one DHCP-controlled network to another, and it'll "just work". And since you are using DHCP, I think you're better to fix it there, rather than try to manually preset things in your ethernet configuration, that are probably going to get changed by their next DHCP-done configuration. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
