I looked at my /etc/resolv.conf and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.2.1
search mwmcmlln.ca
the 192.168.2.1 is my SMC-Barricade broadband handler connected to an
ADSL modem. the mwmcmlln.ca is now a valid and registered domain, but
not when I set up this machine. the backup file
/etc/resolv.conf.saved.by.dhcp contains the same entries.
