Help Please: DNS Resolution Problem

Hi All

Installed my first Fedora machine on old PIII-550MHz system. Had
migrated to Whitebox Linux for Production machines but could not
resist going back to Fedora for my personal machine.

I am facing a peculiar problem...maybe I am missing the simplest thing
but here it is...I has a Realtek 8029AS Card...Did a FC3 ISO
install...Every time I switched the machine On, I had to activate
eth0...as it would automatically deactivate itself.

Then I changed to another Realtek 8032 or something similar card
(sorry am writing this from office so don't remember exact number). I
also updated the machine using yum yesterday (Everthing Install
option).

Now I have a different problem...my eth0 is active and the problem
does not remain, but I do not get DNS Resolution. DNS Server entries
are there in the Network Config GUI. Restarted the network service
after rewriting the DNS values in GUI and saving them again. But no
go.

One curious fact...my resolv.conf is empty...is this a change in
Fediora? I put my DNS Servers in Resolv.conf manually and again
restarted the network service but same results.

Where's the culprit....I have a vague feeling its me ;-)...I'm missing
something very small and obvious.

Please help.
Sanjay.
