"Manual DNS" setting has no effect

Asked by xikteny

I use gnome-ppp to connect to PeoplePC. It works well for the most part, however I recently tried to use the "Manual DNS" setting, and found that it had no effect. My ISP's default servers are always used, no matter the setting in gnome-ppp.
Why is this occurring?
I am using up-to-date Karmic (so gnome-ppp .0.3.23-1ubuntu2).

You can set DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf

You will need to use:

gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

to give you write access

Can you help with this problem?
