Well, he can just cat /etc/resolv.conf and see if that is the situation or not.

One dirty hack tip I have on that, if you decide you will be managing /etc/resolv.conf by hand and everything else can just butt out, edit it how you like and then

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

will make everything else bounce off when it tries to mess it up for you. use chattr -i ... to be able to edit it again.


There is a checkbox somewhere in the network setup GUI where you select DHCP that determines whether or not you install the DNS servers offered by the DHCP response. I think I recall seeing some issues with it in some versions but that should be all it takes.
