Re: nameservers and resolv.conf(s): switching from charter cable to tds dsl

[Howell Evans <gevans1@utk.edu>]

It seems to me when you configured your internet connection you told it 
not to pull down the name servers for you. You must have a 
/etc/resolve.conf if you wish DNS to work whatsoever. So you have the 
options of making your own /etc/resolve.conf or you can figure your 
internet connection to pull them down for you. Atleast that is what i 
would do.
