[plug] DNS

[William Kenworthy]

Hi James, not at all sure the 0.0.0.0 is correct - did you get that from
the windoze instructions?

As a short term fix, try and add the isp's dns to /etc/resolv.conf and
see if that fix's things.  Also, are you running a real, not a cacheing
dns?

e.g.,
search ispdomain
nameserver isp.dns.num.ber

However, when I could not get through to non-numerical addresses I did insert the primary and secondary DNS addresses into the D-Link server, but to no avail
