Hello,

I need to refer the external DNS server.  
Then I checked “/var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf”, and nameserver is “10.0.0.2”.

I changed the name server address to the external DNS server’s one.  
I can resolve the hostname by the external DNS server.

But after rebooting, the setting went to back the before value(10.0.0.2).  
**Could you tell me How to fix nameserver setting permanently?**

Best regards,

Hi  
Did you run the command as indicated in the file `netconfig update -f`? Or if using wicked, then set via YaST Network Settings in the Hostname/DNS tab.

Thank you for advice.  
**The problem is solved.**

The wicked.service is used.

I set the DNS server by yast(following command).  
**yast dns edit nameserver1=192.168.1.116**

After rebooting, I confirmed that the DNS server is reflected to /etc/resolv.conf.
