I was hoping someone would give you the correct answer for this. Oh well.

No, it's not. RESOLV2 contains your dialup domain name and your dialup
nameserver IPs. RESOLV2 is configured by the configuration notebook for
whatever dialer you use and is temporarily updated whenever you dial into
your ISP.

Change it how? With a text editor? Those changes will stick, as long as
you don't have a dialup connection going when you make the changes.

This is probably left over from the days when you used Injoy for dialup.

FWIW, routers usually have mini-nameservers.

>Can anyone help with making a permanent change this this file?

Yes. What do you need it set to?

>Why does

Probably because you never really changed it.

The values are probably just plain wrong which will make it hard to make
sense of them. The values are only valid when you are dialed into your
ISP. When you are not, the values will be whatever they were when you
were not dialed into you ISP and because thats how the TCP/IP dialers tend
to work. The values could be could be anything.
