I updated the wiki to reflect this. It would be good if the build would handle it. /etc/resolvconf is modifying /etc/resolv.conf, which can appear to be changed manually, but gets restored to the /etc/resolvconf setting upon reboot. This is a function of the Debian used by DIAL. It appears to me that it is a nontrivial update to netsetup to modify /etc/resolvconf unless it is somehow disabled which can confuse things by making the Debian nonstandard.

That's good to know Bob. I'll keep this note handy.
The Wiki recommends the wrong thing too.
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

I only had a public IP available, no DHCP. Just learned this...
Edit /etc/resolvconf.conf
"#name_servers=" to "name_servers=8.8.8.8" or what ever DNS you'd like
Save and reboot. Works great.
Thanks,Bob

Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] DNS Setup
I just went through this yesterday with a new DIAL installation (http://dvswitch.org/files/AllStarLink/RAT_RC1.tar.gz).
As you have observed, netsetup (for Static setup mode) sets the DNS nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf but updating that file directly is not supported for the 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.
