Dear Jay,
Thanks. That is exactly what I mean (sorry not explaining it
properly). My network is DHCP enabled. When the lease expired, the
resolver is also cleared out. Any ideas how I can configure a static
DNS IP?
Here is what I think may work (Please correct me if I am wrong)...
Perhaps I should configure a static IP on this client using FreeBSD.
May I know how can I do that, and at the same time, I would also like
to disable DHCP enable settings.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Linux Quest

I will not be able to ping google.com (because I need to type in
my ISP's DNS into /etc/resolv.conf) May I know what is the best
solution for this, so that I do not have to type in my ISP's DNS
to the resolver all the time? Perhaps, should I set a static IP
configuration? If so, may I know which file should I modify?

Their DNS changes hourly? What the heck ISP are you using that pulls
such things?
Or do you mean to say that you're on DHCP, and when it renews the
lease
it clears out DNS info?

Simple enough to do-- first off, is this box running under a router or
some such that you control, or is it getting a public IP through your
ISP? If the latter, setting a static IP might come back to haunt you.
I suspect from the way you describe it, that you control a local router
that's giving bogus DNS information out with its DHCP lease, in which
case the simplest fix is to adjust said router so it Doesn't Do That (tm).
In any case: http://www.freebsddiary.org/resolv.php should help you out.
