resolv.conf keeps getting reset, erasing my nameserver ips with localhost info
Hello:
I'm recently having a problem with all internet apps, in that the nameserver file /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting reset to:
search homeland.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1 (neither of which actually works, of course!)
instead of what I want it to be, which is:
nameserver 205.152.46.254
nameserver 205.152.144.235
I have a backup file that I keep having to replace the resolv.conf file in order to connect to things, but this is obviously very tedious...Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks for the tip-- I guess what I wanted to know was how to correct this...I'm using whatever the default DHCP client was the default during installation.

Well, I seem to have solved this problem with a combination of the last comment, which I accepted in its entirety, and also by adjusting the /etc/nsswitch.conf file as suggested by gheist (the actual changes I looked up on another site). I am unable to reproduce the error at this point (even by undoing the fixes), so I cant only say that I believe that the point split that I did here is the fairest solution I could think of.
