internet connection fails

[Randolph Jones]

fc14 live cd installed on hd
net is dhcp; networkmanager sets nameserver
as dhcp provider.
occasionally cant find google.
adding isp nameservers to resolv.conf fixes this.
unfortunately, NM steps on this and rewrites resolv.conf
before shutdown.

how do I get the isp nameserver in the system permanently?

TIA

I solved this by killing NM.
You might opt for a different solution.

The true solution is to configure your DHCP+DNS server to work properly.
Either fixing its DNS server issue, or telling your DHCP server to
provide the clients with a different DNS server address that works.
It's the problem, so it's got to be in your solution.
