HELP! 2 rbpi3's one update's resolve.conf the other doesn't

Wed Apr 05, 2017 8:05 pm

I've 2 pi3s - dist-updated to the same version but they have been worked and have different histories. The issue is that one pi is not populating the resolve.conf file with dns entries when I connect to my network while the other does. I've replicated the wpa_supplicant.conf from the working pi on the problem pi which has made no difference. Wifi connections are provided via dhcpd reservations from the primary network router. Both are connecting via a second router running in AP mode.

I believe that in the course of setting things up I most likely changed something that has created this issue but I have no idea what I should be looking for. Any ideas on where I should be looking to restore the dysfunctional pi so that the /etc/resolve.conf get populated. Currently, if I manually populate the file it is overwritten by subsequent connections to the network or restarts of the computer.

Check the contents of /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

Domo Arigato! Thank you so much. In thrashing around with network problems a few months ago, I modified that file on the problem pi. Restoring it to the original seems to have taken care of my problem.
