I have used Ceni to add DNS addresses to my eth0 connection. I also added the DNS addresses to the IPV4 settings with NetworkManager using the "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only" selection.
I still can't get the edited connection to be used at boot.
NetworkManager.conf
Code:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=true
interfaces
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
dns-nameservers 66.60.160.196 205.162.202.197
resolv.conf
Code:
nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 205.162.202.197
nameserver 69.60.160.196

I am not trying to use other than my ISP's Domain Name Servers.
Would the method in your other thread work for me?
edit: I already have resolvconf installed. |

I am not clear exactly what you mean. If you want to use only your ISP's DNS servers, you should not have to do anything other than reboot with your eth0 cable plugged in and active.
You should not need ceni and surely not networkmanager.
However, since you were making changes using networkmanager, I would suggest using ONLY ceni to both remove eth0 configuration and restart eth0 with no changes to the default ceni settings.

Ceni edited the interfaces file with the DNS addresses, but when I reboot and run Ceni again the Domain Name Server info is gone. It is still in the interfaces file, so maybe Ceni doesn't retain previous settings in itself like NetorkManager. I need to set the DNS for the connection manually because my router doesn't pass the DNS info to my client ID.
The connection I created with NetworkManager called "clbb.net" shows up in the Wired Networks context when left-click on the NMApplet but ifupdown is the connection that always starts and I can't edit or delete that connection. |

You can use wicd to set the DNS IPs. Once installed, it runs from a daemon at boot and remembers its settings.
We use wicd on our laptops because my wife and I do a lot of travelling since we retired.

| What I've done is set my router as the local DNS on my network. My router has a primary and secondary DNS listed. One setting on the router that might help is to enable DNS relay. I'm using a D-Link router so it might be called something else on another brand. Everything works smoothly for me. |

| I have no DNS relay enable setting on my Belkin router, however wicd did remember my DNS settings and my connection behaves as it should. I had to log in as root to configure it, even though I made my username a member of the netdev group, but all is well now. Thank you all. |
