Modify your DHCP client script to not ask for such details, and put in
static entries yourself for the search and name server entries.

I don't have cable, but with dial-up there's a similar thing with the
wvdial.conf file.  Mine's set to NOT rewrite my DNS servers (the
resolv.conf file).

Research into which scripts are used to make your connection.
