/etc/resolv.conf problems

Question

In my conky script, the gmail portion stopped working so I just tried to do a normal wget https://mail.google.com in the terminal. The output was
--11:41:41-- https://mail.google.com/
=> `index.html'
Resolving mail.google.com... 1.0.0.0
Connecting to mail.google.com|1.0.0.0|:443...
which obviously isn't right. What could have changed? I use WICD to connect to my network.

i was wandering around forums and i noticed the wicd issue with archlinux, since it still focuses on dhcpcd, not dhclient - so resolv.conf doesnt upload.

let me know if it solves the issue.
That fixed it, thanks. Let's hope it stays this time.

I tried that all to no avail. The problem actually went away for a while but now it is back. I've disabled ipv6 which is what solved it but now that isn't working. Also,
[shawn] /etc/rc.d/dhcpd start
:: Starting DHCP Server                                                  [FAIL]
Is there a reason you're starting the dhcp Server, and not client?  Do you want dhcpcd?
That was my mistake.
