Rony, I think you are looking at two different issues here, and combining them into one question. The first part is the dhclient bit. I use 'ifplugd' on my cabled interfaces, so that when a cord is [dis]connected, the dhclient request is handled for me. Secondly, the resolv.conf issue *probably* relates to your dhcp server. It looks (and smells) like the dhcp request is getting an IP, but that the DNS portion needs to be configured or tweaked in some way. My current setup uses 'udhcpd', but I have to specify which IP's are populated into the resolv.conf file. (If you choose to use udhcpd and need help, email me off list.) Additionally, after a period of time your resolv.conf file will change because your lease on the IP address assigned to you renews, and when your computer requests a new lease, and when given a new IP it will also update your resolv.conf file automatically. This should be the expected outcome; again, you are probably suffering from a broken dhcp server configuration. HTH, David -- D.
