I have 2 problems. Dhcp is not setting dns and after I manually set my dns it changes to garbage.
I literally just used command to set dns which is a good copy of resolv.conf:
sudo cp /home/bob/Desktop/scripts_9-12-2011/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Here is a copy of my resolv.conf.
# Generated by NetworkManager
# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
It hadn't even been a whole minute and it changes to this.
# Generated by NetworkManager

# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com
Why is this happening? There is no way this can be my fault. I just reformatted my computer cause this was driving me crazy. This did not happen the first time I installed Fedora.

Did you notice that line that said "Generated by Network Manager"
stop NetworkManager and chkconfig it off.
Also, change the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* devices to Controlled by Network Manager = no

Why is the Network Manager no longer able to set the DNS? It used to be able to set it up properly.

I generally find NetworkManager to be a loathsome product worthy of contempt.
Then what program do you use for the internet? I use several different static IP's and dhcp connections.

NetworkManager isn't listed and network is off.

Network Manager's part of Gnome and not a system service, I think; just another grown-out-of-control GUI app that wants to pretend the system belongs to it...
