From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: After configuring eth0 for DHCP update from outside source but leaving "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider" unchecked, DHCP still overrides information written in DNS tab. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on eth0 selection 2.Click edit 3.Click Automatically obtain IP address settings with: DHCP 4.Make sure "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider" is not selected 5.Enter DNS information under DNS tab 6.Reboot computer Actual Results: After logging back in and opening up gnome terminal: at prompt type "dig computername" Output states it is using outside DNS information. Log into network-configuration and click on DNS. Information has changed to information from DHCP server Expected Results: dig results from local DNS server and DNS tab to retain PROPER information that was manually entered. Additional info: CPU Intel PIII 733 RPM: redhat-config-network-1.0.0-1 Have to MANUALLY edit /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 by adding a line near top of file to say: PEERDNS='no' Plus complicated stopping and starting eth0 device and changing DNS information in DNS tab before restarting eth0.
