[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ dpkg -l resolvconf Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) So it doesn't seem to be installed. I'm going to purge it just in case. > You proably need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and set the dns-* lines. > Then run /etc/init.d/resolvconf reload. I'll check on that, too. Thanks!
