#Edit ''NetworkManager.conf'' by running <pre>sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf</pre>

#Comment out the line that reads ''dns=dnsmasq'' or ''dns=default'' (or probably ''dns=<anything>'' by prepending it with a pound character ('''<nowiki>#<nowiki>'''). Your file should look something like this when it's done<pre>[main]&#10;#dns=default&#10;plugins=ifupdown,keyfile &#10;&#10;[ifupdown]&#10;managed=false &#10;&#10;[device]&#10;wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no</pre>

#Restart your computer and you should now be automatically getting a DNS nameserver from the DHCP server when you connect to a network. This means you should be able to ping hostnames and browse the internet as expected even with ''resolvconf'' installed.
