I've spent some time on this, and while it's not resolved yet, I've been
learning.
I found a lengthy Fedora thread that proposed installing a lot of new
files, which led nowhere.
One thing I do know-resolv.conf lists the nameservers when using DHCP,
but there's only a "Do not edit"warning when using a static IP, and the
user is locked out from editing the file. I'm going to try this again,
but I'll stop the Networking services first. I still don't understand
why this worked so well in the past, and not at all now.
