The dialer programs be it wvdial or adsl pppoeconf upon successful connection gets the DNS entries from the ISP and overwrites them in etc/resolv.conf . Also while disconnecting remove these entries. There is provision in the config files of these dialers to disable this auto feature. In case of wvdial add this line in /etc/wvdial.conf Auto DNS=off > I've had this problem before where Ubuntu keeps changing resolv.conf and it > can get quite irritating -- not sure if this was the most elegant solution, > but I would do: > $sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf (this makes the file 'immutable' and thus > network-manager can't automatically change it.. ) @Sanjay That is a bit excessive. You need to find out the exact program which is making changes to resolv.conf and disable the option. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
