When connecting to internet with a certain provider, I have problems with
browsing. Then I want to fill the file /etc/resolv.conf with the proper dns
servers but the file changes automatically during the connection being filled
with values different from the ones I want.

Googling around I experimented many possible solutions but none worked
(e.g. edit the file /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf).
Even putting off the write permissions over resolv.conf did not work: it must
be created every time.

Does anyone have any experience about a real solution?

Thanks for any help
Rodolfo

What did you try in dhclient.conf ? The option do-forward-updates set to true
should be the answer.

Rodolfo,

I don't understand your issue. Are you using dhcp, you must be, and as
a result, your resolve.conf changes with input from the dhcp server.
Use static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, edit resolv.conf, you are
done.

Here is a copy of my files:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain damtek.org
search damtek.org
nameserver 68.87.68.162
nameserver 68.87.74.162
nameserver 192.168.200.1

cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.200.15
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# network 192.168.200.0
# broadcast 192.168.200.255
# gateway 192.168.200.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 192.168.200.1
dns-search damtek.org
address 192.168.200.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.200.1


iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.200.16
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.200.1


My dns servers do not now change as a result. If you use dhcp (and have
to use it) then in my case the name servers are given to me by my
router/dns server which gets it from the ISP. I do not have resolveconf
package installed. Does this help?

Rodolfo,

I do not know what you need for PPP and we will have to wait for someone
who knows to respond.

Thanks. My `/etc/network/interface' is very poor:


# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


. Now, suppose I want the following ppp connection log output:

local IP address 151.82.24.152
remote IP address 10.6.6.6
primary DNS address 193.70.152.25
secondary DNS address 193.70.192.25

. In /etc/resolv.conf I suppose I have to put the lines:

nameserver 193.70.152.25
nameserver 193.70.192.25

. How do you suggest I should edit /etc/network/interface?

Thanks
Rodolfo

If you use pppd, removing the "usepeerdns" option from /etc/ppp/options
should work; however, on my Etch system, pppd writes its file to
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf, and the script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0000userpeerdns
merges the data into /etc/resolv.conf, so I would remove execute
permissions on /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0000usepeerdns.


You probably only need to do one of those things--not both.

What OS/distribution are you using?

P.S.
I'm using dialup, and my /etc/resolv.conf is unchanged from when I last
set it up.

Thanks. I installed resolvconf and, as suggested at:

http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration

, I added the following line:

dns-nameservers 193.70.152.25 193.70.192.25

to the file /etc/network/interfaces. Now I can browse, but still the ppp
connection log shows the following values:

primary DNS address 10.11.12.13
secondary DNS address 10.11.12.14

, that are not the ones I want. It may be important because the connection is
slower than it's supposed to be, and this may be related to the matter.

Thanks for further hints.
Rodolfo

sounds more like a problem with your provider, they normally provide
these details in the connection
