["Kenneth Grande" <kenneth@aspit.no>]

I think he means that his resolv.conf gets overwritten by the information
provided by the dhcp server as discussed here (with solution):

Use the command 'hostname'. If you want to preserve the change over
reboots edit /etc/hostname

AFAIK it gets changed if you receive your IP over DHCP. Might happen in
other cases as well, but I don't think running a dhcp server is one of
them.
