Fixing the DNS issue

From ComputingPlugs

There is a DNS issue with the default filesystem where the Sheeva Plug will not correctly grab the DNS servers from DHCP. This causes the Sheeva Plug to not be able to resolve any domain names. To fix the problem, edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and comment out the line:

supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

reboot the system and the Sheeva Plug will grab the DNS servers correctly from DHCP.
