I should have been clearer that they were two separate points.  You do the
resolv.conf.  The isp needs to return those lines that I showed you.  An
example resolv.conf:

nameserver 206.246.194.1
nameserver 128.239.1.24

While these will work, you should get the ip's of the nameserver(s) at
your isp.
