My guess is you are using DHCP and the DHCP server on the network
doesn't tell the clients what nameserver to use.
If you are responsible for the DHCP server, then fix its
configuration.
If you have no control over the DHCP server, then configure your
client to override the DNS settings reported by DHCP. If you are
using the 'dhcp-client' package (instead of pump or dhcpcd) then look
at /etc/dhclient.conf. The following lines from my dhclient.conf file
will be of interest to you:
supersede domain-name "dman13.dyndns.org" ;
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 ;
(if you don't use DHCP, then nothing should change /etc/resolv.conf at all)
HTH,
