dns address keeps resetting

does anyone know why or how I can stop mandriva from changing my dns address? It keeps changing it to 192.168.178.1 and its preventing me from accessing the web. it usually resets after 15 minutes or so then I have to manually go to control center > internet & network > alter miscellaneous settitngs > and then change it back to 192.168.1.1.

 

Have you configured it as a static IP?

 

I've tried static and dhcp, does the same thing with both.

 

Try this:

Code:

add route gw default 192.168.1.1

 

in the konsole?
[root@s tech]# add route gw default 192.168.1.1
bash: add: command not found

 

Actually its

Code:

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

 

whoops! :O

Addis has got it right

 

Ok I tried it, I'll post in a few mins to see if it worked or not
*crosses fingers*

 

nope, reset again. I attached a screenie to show you what's getting reset.

 

Thats strange, as a temporary measure. Try doing

Code:

chmod a-r /etc/resolv.conf

That will make the resolv.conf file read only. Hopefully it will stop it being reset. Obviously do that after you've changed the DNS entries to the right ones.

 

Ok I've done that..lets see if it works

 

Odd...
After a few mins I lost web access so it obviously reset but when I go to the control center like in the attachement it reports that the dns hasn't changed, still saying 192.168.1.1

P.S. how do I chmod it to the default value? I had to use another PC to type this on

 

Do chmod 744 /etc/resolv.conf
