I am using three machines on one router, that seem to be pre-configured. One linux lets say playstation for media, and two bsd machines. For one very reason I moved to use bsd, because it seemed to be easier to change the dns in the network-manager. But looking at the bsd-machine and its connection it is the same IP, via cable, although I typed two different DNS addresses. So this means to me, it ain't possible to change it even on the bsd machine, four ports on the router, bge0 (Broadcom NetXtreme Fast Ethernet Controller, ASIC rev. 0x5784100)

ifconfig is giving me the following message, but nontheless the same external IP on both machines. So obviously I am wrong. Can anybody tell me, how to change for good the two dns in bsd. The network manager is willingly, but not succeeding. BTW IPv6 is turned off. and even looking at resolv.conf, I would need a hint.

Code:
 bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 	options=c019b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE> 	ether 00:1f:16:c3:08:b6 	inet6 fe80::21f:16ff:fec3:8b6%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1  	inet6 fd0b:d9d8:9e3d:0:21f:16ff:fec3:8b6 prefixlen 64 autoconf  	inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255  	nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> 	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) 	status: active]

What I see here, ethernet autoselect, status active, but the terminal command netstat always gives me the providers address.
e.g.

Code:
 tcp4       0      0 192.168.1.2.24483      200.216.8.25.http      CLOSED]

yes closed, because of some technical trouble at the providers side this afternoon, I guess.


Any hints I'd appreciate really, thanks in advance. One more word, it is not about using TOR or TAILS, just another dns. Or does it mean the only chance to set the dns is at the installation routine?
