Put it back!!

It contains the configuration for loopback (lo) which is really important.

Your interface was NOT listed in /e/n/i so Network Manager grabbed it and
took over.

You can see this by the way /etc/resolv.conf had been turned into a symlink
with "Network Manager" in the name, and by the way the contents of that
symlink said "Network Manager was here".

Already put back to the way it's supposed to be.

Welp, this has been educational, although I didn't get all the answers I wanted. But we can stop now, because ... DUH! ... why don't I try a different computer on this same wire?

And behold! It gets the bad DNS entry also.

I'll go back to my network admin now, and pester him.

Thanks anyway, all!
