DNS entries in windows?

[jutah]

I finally got my modem to work, but when I connect to my isp and open netscape it runs extremly slow. Looking through previous post I saw that the problem is that I didn't enter a DNS 1 or 2 in kppp. I am wondering since I connect using the same isp in windows that I am tring to use in linux if I can some how find the DNS entries in windows somewhere?

thanks

Right click your connection in Dialup Networking (My computer) select properties. Depending on you're WinXX look for a TCP/IP Settings button. Enable DNS and enter them in Primary and Secondary. Close, close, close, close... Done.
Do this in the Dialup Connection, not Network properties unless you plan to never use the program to access any other networks. Network properties are a "Global" setting, the DUNC (Dialup Network Connection) is local.

In a perfect world, Internet connections announce the (correct) DNS automatically.

Automatic DNS is actually done at the ppp daemon level. KPPP in kde1 didn't use this option. If you are using kde2 there is an option to use the automatically assigned DNS. If you are using kde1 there is a way of setting it anyway. In customise arguments you can add
-usepeerdns
and it should use the automatic DNS.

Ooops I forgot to mention. If you use automatic DNS in windows anyway, and want to find out what the DNS IP addresses are all you need to do is:
Using windows connect to your ISP
"run" the program "winipcfg"
click on "more info" and you will find an entry for DNS. Clicking on this button will cycle through all the DNS entries.

you can also edit /etc/resolv.conf
on your linux machine
in this format :
search dns1.myisp.com dns2.myisp.com
nameserver i.p.add.ress
nameserver i.p.add.ress
