I edited /etc/resolv.conf to add a nameserver, edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
to do the same and added the dns to wicd. However, I keep getting the same
old dns from the router, i.e., resolv.conf keeps changing to the router's 192
ip. The router does not allow editing dns. I think this is due to using
dhcp. Is there an alternative which wouldn't cause a default to the router's
dns? Any pointers appreciated.

There's an option in dhclient.conf that allows you to specify your own
DNS servers.

supersede domain-name-servers "..."

Although, if WICD is like NM, you may have to set your dns server(s)
in the WICD gui.

Do 'man dhclient.conf' and look at the prepend and supersede options.

I had already done that. I tried either one and both. I had also already
done the wicd gui edit. As I said above, my chosen dns doesn't stick, as
resolv.conf keeps reverting to the router's.
