/etc/init.d/network restart does not hurt anything. Once I have my DNS
in resolv.conf I don't have a problem until reboot. Something in the
boot process cleans resolv.conf out and I have read it has something to
do the the default dhcp stuff on ubuntu but I can't find anything on
exactly what it is.
