[64studio-devel] quick network question DNS issue

[Nate figlar]

well i tried the open dns approach using both the open dns addresses
and the addresses of my isp dns servers. unfortunately at both service
restert and reboot both took me back to the bad settings. I am going
to do some digging into the man pages on the dhclient.conf file
tonight and hopefully I can disable the dns setting from there. On the
surface it looks like a little more than I have done with linux in the
past but this is how one learns ;). i will definately be keeping
everyone posted though on the good and bad plus the ins and outs of
this situation to maybe help with development down the road. and still
open to any other suggestions as well.  again I wish to thank everyone
for the input thus far, hopefully I can get this running smoothly.
