On my Linux boxes (Linux Mint), there is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d dir which has 3 files: base, head, tail. Put ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8’ into base (or tail) and it should always get added to resolv.conf every reboot. (You might look at all 3 files, my favourite trick for this is: more /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*|less and see what’s in them before you start.)

The best way to fix this I'd to fix the dns servers on your router. Maybe restarting your router will solve the problem since you are probably using the dns server on the router. What DNS server does it say you are using before you overwrite resolv.conf? On Nov 6, 2017 8:50 PM, "Michael" > wrote: there is a small problem.... the DNS setting does not survive a reboot.
