If it were your DHCP server, then it could supply 127.0.0.1 as the DNS server address to that machine (I have done this before). Though, since you say it's not, then it'd be a DHCP client overriding configuration that you'd apply to your computer. > When I'm connecting via the WiFi hotspot at some local business, the > DHCP server is not under my control.

I'm fairly sure that I read, somewhere on this list, that you could put client options into a file that NetworkManager would pay attention to. It wasn't the usual /etc/dhclient.conf that you'd use with the network service. And people have written about customising NetworkManager settings by right-clicking the NetworkManager icon, and editing connections (such as putting in their own DNS server address). With reports from some that they were ignored, and others saying it worked. Are you one of those that tried that? -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
