Hi,

I am using Fedora 8.

Its my impression that the DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf are the
ones always used for name lookup.

The resolv.conf file generated when I installed F8 is:

-------------------------------------
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search domain.actdsltmp
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 208.42.42.42
-------------------------------------

I am not sure why 192.168.0.1 is there since it is my gateway address. I
manually edited resolv.conf to reflect the DNS servers given to me by my
ISP. The edited one is:

Your modem/router may have a caching name server running on it. I
just helped a friend with his ADSL modem. The only name server that
showed up in /etc/resolv.conf was 192.168.1.1. It resolved names just
fine. You could make sure that it is working by removing the
208.42.42.42 line. Then, if you want, you could append a third name
server to the configuration using /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf.
