One you've changed resolv.conf, it should stay that way permanently
across boots, unless you change it again.

Open a command window in Windows and type "ipconfig -all".  There should
be a list of DNS servers somewhere in the output.  Put that same list in
your resolv.conf file.  Alternately, if your ISP has given you a list of
one or more DNS servers to use, put those in the resolv.conf file
(usually these will both be the same).
