Your dhcp client will certainly overwrite it. There are many other applications that _might_. Simply, if your work runs Windows systems, then all _their_ machines are getting everything they need from the DHCP server, and you can too. There shouldn't _be_ multiple domains in /etc/resolv.conf - you only belong to one. There probably should be multiple DNS servers, but that should be happening automatically. It would be much easier if you explained what you think is wrong and what you are trying to do. -- derek -- kubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users </a></blockquote><div> Thanks Derek - I will do my best. Actuall domain names have been changed to protect the innocent but the examples are valid. I work within an envrionment which calls for me to manage linux servers via ssh. My box, kubuntu of course, resides in the <a href="http://foo.company.com">foo.company.com</a> domain. The servers I manage are on either of the following: <a href="http://corp.company.net">corp.company.net</a>, <a href="http://dev.company.net">dev.company.net</a>, <a href="http://testlab.company.net"> testlab.company.net</a> domains. If I do not edit my resolv.conf file I must use FQDN to ssh to the boxes. I appreciate any and all help/pointers. Steve </div> </div>
