Sounds like you are using DHCP which will indeed overwrite the resolv.conf. The router then supplies itself as a DNS server, unfortunately it is not very good (I know, I own a few DI-604's.) You may want to investigate the resolvconf package (which is designed to fix this exact sort of problem,) or stop using DHCP. Hope this helps, -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
