DNS lookup fails connecting to server on same network

[Ryan Rix]

Hi,

I commented out the qwest dns servers, and it worked. but this file updates at 
reboot, no?
Also, about half the time I am behind a dlink router at my ftather's house; 
will this conflict now? if the resolv.conf is edited is it assumed to stay 
after reboot? The dlink's at 192.168.0.1 and the linksys is 192.168.1.1.... 
is there any way to use both with one config file, or will it err?

Thanks and best regards,
