Are you using dhcp, you must be, and as a result, your resolve.conf changes with input from the dhcp server. Use static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, edit resolv.conf, you are done. Here is a copy of my files: cat /etc/resolv.conf domain damtek.org search damtek.org nameserver 68.87.68.162 nameserver 68.87.74.162 nameserver 192.168.200.1 cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static # address 192.168.200.15 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # network 192.168.200.0 # broadcast 192.168.200.255 # gateway 192.168.200.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.200.1 dns-search damtek.org address 192.168.200.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.200.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 My dns servers do not now change as a result. If you use dhcp (and have to use it) then in my case the name servers are given to me by my router/dns server which gets it from the ISP. I do not have resolveconf package installed.
