[Mailinglist] Hi.. I have a problem with resolv.conf

[Kurian Thayil]

Hey Jaisen,

What is your network settings? Do you use a DHCP server? If you use one,
there is a chance that when your network starts (obviously when your
machine reboots) you get your IP released from DHCP and if set in DHCP
you get  your nameserver info too. So just look in your network
settings. I use Fedora so not sure on the Debian location of network
scripts (but i guess its /etc/networking -- not sure though). Do reply.

Regards,

Kurian.
