In my view, the action of NM in over-writing /etc/resolv.conf is completely illogical. There is no conceivable situation in which this might help. Also, in my experience NM does NOT get the DNS settings from the server. I run NM on my Fedora-17/KDE laptop. Normally this works fine - it has certainly improved greatly over the years. But if I go out of WiFi range then NM comments out the DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf . However, if I go back in range, it does not add the DNS entries from /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf on the server, where I have # option definitions common to all supported networks... option domain-name "gayleard.com"; option domain-name-servers 159.134.237.6,159.134.248.17; I'm not sure what you mean by "the GUI". If you mean Network Management Settings, I see nothing there that would allow me to alter the settings in /etc/resolv.conf . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- 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 Have a question?
