[Solved] How to fix the dns server address

My NIC eth0 and wlan0 both connect to the Internet by DHCP

Recently I want to do some network test and I need to fix my DNS server address.

First
I change the /etc/resolv.conf
Delete the nameserver and add the nameserver I want to use.
When I change it, I can use this nameserver, but about after several minutes the resolv.conf is changed by dhcp.
So the nameserver I have added disappeared.

Hi buptwugh,

maybe you should try using net-dns/openresolv, to set static nameservers (link).

Or, just simply by using the option "nodns" to your DHCP configuration (see here) if you don't want DHCP to change your nameservers. And if you want static nameservers, you could also use the "dns_servers" option.

Good luck :]

Thanks Yuu,

Add the "nodns" option can solved the problem.
