Bug Description
Binary package hint: base-installer
After installing a Ubuntu 8.04 Server no DNS resolution had been possible.
- Configured Server manually, also entered two DNS Servers
- remote machines could be reached with their IP address
- resolv.conf had no 'nameserver' entries, only a 'search' entry (this one was correct)
I also could reproduce this with a Ubuntu 7.10 Server installation on the same Hardware.

I can confirm a similar (mis)behavior on a Desktop PC with Intrepid Alpha. On every startup i have to edit /etc/resolv.conf manually and add a nameserver. Additionally, my static IP address is only kept if I uncheck "System setting" in the network manager. When I try to change the nameserver configuration through the GUI (checking "System setting" and entering the nameserver's IP address), I get an error message saying "Adding connection failed. Saving connection failed.." after having entered my password.
