Answering my own question... the syntax and corrected spelling that works for this, is: supersede domain-name-servers dns.IP.address.1, dns.IP.address.2; Works great... but still does not address why a kludge is needed, which I now will get to work figuring out. TU>> You should however check, why you get wrong values from your TU>> router. I have given this some thought... since the same value... 192.168.1.254 which is the internal IP value on the modem/router, is the same value that is passed to Red Hat, and Windows, and works for them, I do not thing the value is 'wrong'... and since it also works with OpenBSD, but with about a 60 second delay (like something times out, and then defaults to a secondary (else) behaviour, which does work... ...I suspect that I have something else set wrong, for when I installed the operating system, and when I eventually, using trial and error, on one thing at a time, get lucky and change the right variable, I will be able to remove the hard-coded DNS IP's from dhclient.conf, and things will run smoothly. At least now, I can use the machine with Internet access, while I figure out the right configuration. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ .
