Changing DNS of Dial-up Connection
 

Hello,

I paired my phone via bluetooth with my pc and ticked the box saying " Access the DUN service" or something similar to that and i got my connection setup and active by following some wizards.

But the problem is the connection appears (only by clicking the network icon at the notification area) only when the bluetooth dongle is plugged to the pc and also it appears at only notification area and not in the network manager and whether u right click or left click on the connection, it just starts to connect and not display any properties or options.

So, how do I change the DNS to be use for the connection?

You can manually edit
an add the nameserver
Kind regards

Thanks for the prompt reply. :)

A question, how to add another alternate server? I mean almost all DNS's come with 2 servers..

Should i add another nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX line?

Yes

Kind regards

I tried but it resets to the operator's default DNS everytime i connect.. :(

And the DNS from your provider doesn't work?
Which distribution are you using?

Well provider's DNS does work but you know, its just not that good at security and prone to attacks..

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.

Currently doing apt upgrade.. May take some time. Will try this and report. Thanks.

If your network uses dhcpcd to configure the DNS-server, you'll have to edit the dhcpcd.conf file and add a linethis will prevent dhcpcd from overwriting the resolv.conf file.

For ubuntu:
change the following lines in
Kind regards

I don't know if my operator uses dhcpcd or not.. Any way to find out?\

I've already did by the way.. Do i still need to do nohook?

What do I add in place of "mydomain.com"? Provider's Access point?

Seems that write-protecting the file did the job.. Thanks you all..
