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.

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. 73 Danny K5CG
