Hi All, I would like to configure my laptop to use 4.2.2.2/4.2.2.3 as DNS. The problems is everytime my machines requests for a dynamic IP via DHCP, my DNS settings get reset. Is it possible to override this? I am running Fedora 8. Regards Deepan Sudoku Solver: http://www.sudoku-solver.net/

It will depend on the DHCP client you use, of course, but all my OSes have standardized on ISC's dhclient. In that case, it's a matter of editing /etc/dhclient.conf (or /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) and making use of the following or similar lines: supersede domain-name "example.com"; prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; I think you can use supersede, prepend, and append for any of the above, but the documentation can tell you for sure.
