    At this point you may want to ignore resolvconf, and hardcode your own resolv.conf:

    Remove the link, and create your own file:
    Code:
    sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
    
    sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf
    Edit the file and save it with this content:
    Code:
    # Custom resolv.conf
    nameserver 192.168.200.254
    You should have DNS resolution immediately after that.

    Let us know how it goes.
    Regards.

    I suggest an easier solution and that is to reserve the DHCP address on the router side, not the computer side. It is not really static but will not get a new lease and a new IP address. It keeps it the same.
