Network Manager forgets DNS servers after reboot!

[joe.pelayo]

Hello everybody.

This is the second time I find this problem in a Fedora 8 driven machine whose Internet access is through a wired non-DHCP network. I can configure the network setup once and use it though out the session, but if I happen to reboot the machine then it doesn't have Internet because it had forgotten the DNS servers.

I found a resolv.conf in /etc, presumably created by Network Manager, but I guess it gets deleted after reboot (gotta confirm that after the update process finishes).

Has anyone else found this odd behavior? How can it be solved?

Thanks.
Joe.

Goto system ->administration ->network, highlight your wired device and click "edit" UNCHECK the box for "controlled by Network Manager" and save, reboot or restart networking and reconfigure your settings and see if that helps. The problem is NM doesn't like non-DHCP connections so it is overwriting your settings.

Thanks for the info Iron_Mike, I also had to enable the network service to start.

Isn't there any other way to solve this DNS problem while retaining the NM control? I'm having the same problem on my Fedora10 install.
