where do my ISP's DNS numbers go?

[cotfessi]

i've been playing with my connection and trying to secure it but just realized that my connection is having trouble with DNS.

I turned off all firewall, etc. and still nothing. I had this problem in Mandrake as well but I was able to add my ISP's DNS numbers through a gui in X. right now I'm only at the command line. can someone tell me where to put my ISP's primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses????

p.s. I'm running a DSL line using pppoe

thanks,

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/ppp/resolv

search my.ip.provider
nameserver my.ns.ip1
nameserver my.ns.ip2

i don't have either of those files

As root, open a text editor (pico, vi, emacs, whatever), and edit /etc/resolv.conf so it looks like:

search your.ip.provider
nameserver 123.456.789.000
nameserver 123.456.789.000

Where "your.ip.provider" would be "bellsouth.net", or whatever
And then 2 numbers following "nameserver" would be the ip addresses of two different DNS servers.
