static DNS problem !

[Atte]

Ok, so I edit the reolv.conf, putting in my two DNS IP's and run the PPPOE config utility AFTER having done so.
Here I click "no" when asked if the resolv.conf should be updated automatically....
And still it updates the DNS's, which unables the connection..
What am I doing wrong, is there a way round this ? So I wouldn't have to edit the resolv.conf every time I start up the machine..
btw, I'm dual-booting with win2000.

:?

a dirty trick:
as root:


chmod a-w /etc/resolv.conf

this should probit writing to the file.
Perhaps you get an errormessage from the program, which tries to write to the file, and can change that program instead.

Please reply if it works.

I tried the trick, found a link /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf and did the same to that file.

DHCP broadcasting ... backgrounding when rebooting and when I check the reolv.conf it's got a local area IP.
I'm on a homepna (pppoe) connection.
