I replaced a dead router the other day with a new Belkin F5D7230-4
wireless/4-port unit.
When networking starts on my Etch box, /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten
like so:
search hydroplatenet
nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 208.180.42.68
nameserver 208.180.42.100
Web browsing (and other name-dependent Intarweb Pipes stuff) is very
slow with these settings, but if I comment/remove the first nameserver
line, which is the address of the Belkin router, things are fine.
I found a couple of other people with similar problems
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297834 and
http://www.mepis.org/node/3221), one of which provided the kludgey fix
of pre-pending the good addresses via /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to force
duplicates of the good address to the top of the file, but that's just ugly.
I've sent this problem to Belkin, and their tech support responded that
"The Belkin Router only provides a Gateway address but is not a DNS
server"
(http://www.belkin.com/contact/milan/default1.aspx?id=5B5B5956095F560D0D5C5F0E5B0A5D56305F5E).
They indicated that I should call them on the phone (I hate dealing with
stuff over the phone...), but I wanted to get all my ducks in a row
before I do so.
So my real question:
Is Debian somehow responsible for incorrectly seeing this "Gateway
address" as a name server address (and if so, how do I fix it), or is
the Belkin tech supporter incorrect about his product (or some other
option)?
Thanks!
