Re: ipkg corruption?

It turns out the problem was with my connection. I can only get the Z
online with dhcp. When I try to use a static route, resolv.conf ends
up having my router's address as the nameserver which confuses things.

It would be nice to be able to set up a static route but I can live
without it for now.

What I don't understand is how the nameservers are supposed to make it
into my resolv.conf file. With dhcp, I still have to put them into the
file manually. Surely, this should be done by the dhcp client?

Regards.
