[App_rpt-users] DNS Setup

[K5CG]

That's good to know Bob. I'll keep this note handy. 

The Wiki recommends the wrong thing too. 

http://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/DIAL_FAQ 

Now, how do we get the maintainer of the build to fix the netsetup script? 

# Setup network paramaters # 
# Parts borrowed from ACID and Pickle linux # 
# 9/23/2015 N4IRS # 

I see N4IRS is Steve, the list owner so I added him here to the CC. 

Steve, please advise if there is a process to get this into a dev queue. 

Thanks

> As you have observed, netsetup (for Static setup mode) sets the DNS nameservers

> OS. On reboot, the resolvconf process overwrites /etc/resolv.conf again and
> removes those entries.

> And as you also found, entering dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces
> doesn't work with resovconf.

> I've decided to use netsetup to set networking to DHCP and I set a static MAC
> entry for the IP I want assigned in my router. This works as expected.
