I think this is a bug, but I need to check that I'm not simply being 
stupid and be sure of the conditions under which it can be reproduced 
before reporting. I have experienced this issue with one of my machines, 
but I'm not sure why it behaves differently from the other 64studio 
machines on the same network.

You should be able to edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand, but in my case, 
this gets overwritten every time the network gets restarted. I have 
found that it is possible to get the DNS entries to stick, but I'm not 
sure how I got that to happen.

I'm interested in nailing this one if we can.

cheers,
