Problems with wired network

[Private Ryan]

I recently installed Sabayon 3.4...though everything seems fine, i have issues with network connection. I'm on a static IP and i cannot connect to net if i dont use 'net-setup' everytime i boot into my sabayon desktop...its bugs me to enter the details everytime..so was thinking if there is a way to save the details somehow, so tht i dont need to enter them everytime i want to get online..pls help...


My system specs :
Intel C2d E6300,
MSI 965P Neo F,(Realtek onboard lan)
Kingston 1 GB DDR2 667,
320 GB SATA HDD,
SAbayon 3.4, XP, Vista (Multiboot)

I have this problem too on a fresh install of 3.4. When I installed, I configured wired ethernet with static IP, netmask, gateway but I decided to leave out the DNS. Now I can connect by going through the net-setup rigmarole but there seems to be no way to get the system to remember the DNS address. I have tried editing /etc/resolv.conf to no effect. It seems crazy there would be no way to do this without reinstalling.
