Hi Michael.
What happen if you set up the dns in the /etc/resolv.conf?
I guess that maybe your problem is that the DCHP server is overwritting your
resolv.conf, you might want to take a look at
the: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file and look at the line:
PEERDNS maybe you should try to set it to no:
PEERDNS=no
Cheers
