Then the problem is obvious - you have no nameserver entries as you |
| 60 |
don't create any. The computer can't make them up by magic.. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
You need to create static nameserver entries because you use a static |
| 63 |
(i.e. no dhcp) configuration. Add them to /etc/resolvconf.conf |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
If it still gets removed across restarts then you have some local |
| 66 |
modification going on that does deletions you don't know about. You then |
| 67 |
have too find them and turn them into something you do know about. |
