I received a used laptop a week or so ago, wiped the tinker-toy OS offered with it and proceeded to do the right thing. So far, I have got a machine I can (manually) put to sleep and use on a wireless network. So far, so good.
At home, I don't have a wireless AP, but a 50-ft. ethernet cable. When I connect via wireless (at the office, say), then use my machine at home, resolv.conf is toasted, where I use fixed IP and put my DNS servers in there. DHCP is used everywhere else. So, what overwrites it, when, how, and how to stop it? Is there a definitive guide to the syntax of the various config files? Or, BETTER YET, is there anyone who has a smoothly-functioning configuration to switch between wireless DHCP and connected hard-wired net setups and would like to share?
