Please provide more information, for example a routing table. Are you using NetworkManager as the tag implies? That might be overwriting your configuration set by hand.

I have a normal ADSL router which is connected to telkom line and getting my IP from service provider. I use cat5 on the rest of the machines and wireless on this specific laptop. My connection is normal IP from ISP and therefore I attached machines to a normal ADSL router, my routing is not complicated. Hope this answers the question Peterph. Could that still be overwritting my config file?

Which OS do you work with?
If it's Ubuntu, check out this link:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/2321/what-is-the-proper-way-to-change-the-dns-ip
If not, you may still be able to adapt the steps to your system...
I think it's not as easy as just editing /etc/resolv.conf on your machine. I think it will be overwritten by Networkmanager.
As an alternative, you could possibly disable Networkmanager and work with the "old" ifup and ifdown scripts, but you might use some comfort like automatic WiFi network selection and so on...

Please provide more information, for example a routing table. Are you using NetworkManager as the tag implies? That might be overwriting your configuration set by hand.

I have a normal ADSL router which is connected to telkom line and getting my IP from service provider. I use cat5 on the rest of the machines and wireless on this specific laptop. My connection is normal IP from ISP and therefore I attached machines to a normal ADSL router, my routing is not complicated. Hope this answers the question Peterph. Could that still be overwritting my config file?

/etc/resolf.conflook like?– peterph

Next time please add it into the question (using the
editbutton. :) As you can see, it even tells you that any changes will be lost. I'm afraid we'll need to know more about what distribution (end version) you are using.– peterph
