[Wylug-help] /etc/resolv.conf Being Overwritten

Hi.  I'm using the wireless internet on a National Express train, on an
Ubuntu laptop.  Every minute or so something is re-writing
/etc/resolv.conf, with National Express's name-server details (as you'd
expect it to do when connecting).

This is tiresome, because I've got a VPN connection which added some
additional name-servers (and hostname suffixes) to that file when it
connected, and those got removed whenever the file was first re-written.
I keep copying the resolv.conf I want back over National Express's, but
that's hardly convenient.

Any suggestions?
