Yes. Configure your internal machines manually to use your cable
company's DNS server addresses and, in most circumstances, that you
should "just work".

From what you've said, your internal machines are trying to resolve DNS
through 192.168.0.1 which is not apparently running either a DNS server
or a DNS proxy. I suggest that you should not try to set up your own
DNS server, except as a last resort if nothing else works. I feel
confident, however, that using your cable company's DNS servers will
work for you now.
