I received a used laptop a week or so ago, wiped the tinker-toy OS |
| 2 |
offered with it and proceeded to do the right thing. So far, I have got |
| 3 |
a machine I can (manually) put to sleep and use on a wireless network. |
| 4 |
So far, so good. |

At home, I don't have a wireless AP, but a 50-ft. ethernet cable. When |
| 7 |
I connect via wireless (at the office, say), then use my machine at |
| 8 |
home, resolv.conf is toasted, where I use fixed IP and put my DNS |
| 9 |
servers in there. DHCP is used everywhere else. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
So, what overwrites it, when, how, and how to stop it? Is there a |
| 12 |
definitive guide to the syntax of the various config files? Or, BETTER |
| 13 |
YET, is there anyone who has a smoothly-functioning configuration to |
| 14 |
switch between wireless DHCP and connected hard-wired net setups and |
| 15 |
would like to share? |
| 16 |

Cheers, |
