i'm running mandrake 10.0 and i'm trying to get my internet connection to work properly, i keep setting my dns server to 10.0.0.2 (my router's address) using the internet access thing in the control center, and my internet connection will work...but then when i restart the computer (it's set to connect on boot) it resets my dns server to 127.0.0.1 and i can't access the internet . but the strange thing is, if i set it so that it doesn't connect on boot, and i connect manually once the computer's loaded, it all works fine
masand - I'm curious why you say that one should not use a config tool for editing resolv.conf. I have tried to use these things before, and as you seem to indicate, they screw things up. I've always had to amend it manually - but thought it was my problem, not something more widespread!
