/etc/resolv.conf being rewritten at startup

jawaking00 · 06-30-2004, 07:29 PM

Ok, I was having problems with my internet connection being slow, but I was able to fix it by adding my router's IP address to my /etc/resolv.conf file as the domain. I then ran service -R to reset the connect and it was working perfectly.

The problem is, that now when I restart my computer, the resolv.conf get set back to what it originally was and caused my connection to be slow again.

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening at startup?

Thank you.

I assume you are getting your address via dhcp .. If you are using dhcpcd then you can edit your network start up script to include the -R flag this will prevent dhcpcd from over writting your resolve.conf

Ok, but as you may have noticed I'm a bit of a n00b, so how exactly to I configure my network startup script?

Oh and if I were to do this, would there be any adverse side effects?

Thanks.
