It's really funny that I should have been trying to help you with this and hit the same problem myself only a day later. Your pointer was most useful, but I went for a different fix which to me is more satisfying. Install bind9 and then edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options to point to the ISP's DNS servers in the "forwarders" clause. Then edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and un-comment the "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" line as advised in the article you link to, but change the word "prepend" to "supersede". That way you get *only* 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Working beautifully for me here. It's very odd that it should be the routers running Linux which get it wrong. Mine does offer the means to upgrade the firmware but it's so no-name that there's absolutely no clue as to where one might get updated firmware from.

It was a problem with my D-link router and NOT with the slug or debian installer. Problem is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/81057 My quick fix was to go into a shell and hard-code my ISP's DNS server IPs into /etc/resolve.conf before doing the install. All then worked fine, but the DNS is lost on re-boot. I think openDNS will be my longer term solution -- assuming no firmware for the router to fix it. Thanks for all advice.
