Comment 1 Dan Williams 2009-02-15 14:12:30 UTC

The manually set DNS servers actually need to be placed into the ifcfg files directly, because /etc/resolv.conf can change depending on what you're connected to.  Thus /etc/resolv.conf cannot be the sole source of DNS information.

If you're using ifcfg-based connections, add the DNS servers directly to your ifcfg files (eg DNS1=4.2.2.1 and DNS2=4.2.2.2 for example).

If you're using user connections, you can add them in the connection editor in the IPv4 tab.
