Ah, then it is most likely the dhcp client causing your problem with the resolv.conf You can edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and look for this line. #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; Remove the comment and change the address to the address of the DNS and it will appear first in the resolv.conf regardless of what else gets put there.
