/etc/resolv.conf file is empty (was: Network problem {start of part 2})

[AG <computing.account@googlemail.com>]

Further developments on this:

When I rebooted after the installation, I lost my ability to access the 
Net (again).  I checked the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and there was 
nothing in that file - apparently it is generated by Network Manager, so 
I reinstalled Network Manager and manually copied over what I had had in 
there originally, i.e.:

    search org
    nameserver 87.194.255.154
    nameserver 87.194.255.155

This fixed the problem.

But, after rebooting this file was again blank, stopping me from 
accessing the Net. How can I ensure that this file remains populated 
between reboots?  Or does this file get generated by some other 
function, and in which case, what?

Thanks for the assistance.
