resolv.conf getting deleted at startup


Running Mandrake 10.1, and it's decided to delete resolv.conf during startup.
If I create the file with my gateway's dns, I'm fine.

Removing connections and recreating them in the control centre works, but when I monitor the connection, it deletes the file. I'm guessing it does this same process during startup.
What file needs changing to stop this happening ?

Prior to this, all I can think I may have done is briefly looked at the connections, though I made no modifications that I know of

I hope I'm missing something simple

I finally got hold of an error msg:
Can't update /etc/resolv.conf

And it turned out that at some point I had removed the DNS from the DHCP server. Rather embarrassing really
What surprises me is that Mandrake 10.1 (and according to one of those group postings, Mandrake 10 too) deletes the file if the DHCP client doesn't receive a DNS reply from the server.
