Do you mean your DHCP server was off? Or, do you mean that you had BOOTPROTO=none set in your ifcfg- file? I know I'm being "picky" when I say that I wouldn't use the work "remained" when talking about the information in /etc/resolv.conf. It actually gets rewritten by NM from information kept in the ifcfg- file each time the interface is brought up or down. When you bring it down....NM will rewrite it to read.... # No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your # ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so: # # DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com And then when brought up rewrite it to read something like.... # Generated by NetworkManager search greshko.com nameserver 192.168.0.55 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
