I don't have the email PB under Linux; the main PB is from the PII, under w98:
if I do not declare the 2 DNS of my provider before mine in the TCP/IP window, I
got the error from smtp service (?). (#@!!§&)
Rest to solve: This PB under w98, and the file that'll keep DNS adresses for
bind (may be it is not possible, may be it is possible with another DNS ?)

AFAIK /etc/resolv.conf is made up-to-date by dhcpd (486 is under 2.0.36 kernel);
does that means I should write a script to modify/ add changes on each boot?

PS: didn't notice your name in the first mail, Marc! Hope you're feeling good.
