resolv.conf problems

[adzuki@tahoe.cs.dartmouth.edu]

  I mistyped my DNS ip address when setting up networking here.  I
fixed resolv.conf to reflect the actual ip.  Here's the problem: after a
boot, names don't resolve.  If I su to root and take down the network
and restart it (via "/etc/inet.d/network down", then
"/etc/inet.d/network up") then it works.  Does someone know how to fix
this?  I do not want to do the poor mickey mouse solution of adding
those 2 commands to some startup script; I'd rather understand what's
going on in my system.  

Thanks
