[64studio-devel] quick network question DNS issue

[Nate figlar]

jason,

yeah I know extactly what your are saying and yes all that works.
however the problem I am having is when i shut the machine down at
night and reboot in the morning all those setting go and the gateway
is reseting everything back to the bad DNS. what i am looking for is a
way so the machine doesn't accept those setting and keeps the ones I
just assigned to it. I can just reset it but to be honest gets a
little annoying doing that before I can do anything on the network. I
know ubuntu's GUI network manager had a save feature that was nice
because a simple click of a button and restored all that. I am just
hoping I can find a work around to eleminate all that even and just
have my machine automatically keep those right NDS addresses. but I do
greatly appreciate the input though. keep any more ideas coming, I'm
all ears.
