in 99.9% of cases you do not have to use your ISP's DNS. you can use any DNS(use mine if you want 209.102.24.193 & 194) to find an ISP's numeric DNS i would suggest using WHOIS, or dig.
dig domainname.com whois domainname.com both will give u numeric DNS settings for the domain. nate Phillip Deackes wrote: > > I have always added my ISP's nameservers address to /etc/resolv.conf and > have found that most ISPs tend to specify that you should set up Windows > DUN for server assigned DNS addresses.
