Package vpnc does some copying back and forth both files but it may at some point destroy one of them ---> you lose DNS during connection setup. Bug in vpnc, I filled it to them (not Maemo, because at that time they don't have a slot in bugs.maemo.org)

I have to thank DaveQB for his post outlining the exact problem i was having with DNS not working.
I found i had /etc/dnsmasq.dpkg-dist file that contained the new dnsmasq conf and i was still running the old version pointing to non-existent /tmp/resolv* files!
No.
Just double check before next steps...

I have the same problem = I can't look up web addresses when using WIFI. It connects fine and I get a IP.
I have the following in the /etc/resolv.conf file:
"nameserver 127.0.0.1"
Is that correct? If not, what do I need to write in /etc/resolv.con???
Thanks

I think the real problem isn't the resolv.conf's... but that script file discussed before. I believe that fires off whatever tool or utility that then creates the appropriate resolv.conf file for you.
Is independent of what access point I connect to.
If I put in a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf, it works OK.
