Problem with name resolution and static IP address

[papibe]

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

Remove the link, and create your own file:

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf

sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf

Edit the file and save it with this content:

# Custom resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.200.254

You should have DNS resolution immediately after that.

Let us know how it goes.

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.
