In /etc I have the file resolv.conf with the single line:

        nameserver 10.0.0.10

which is my DNS server.  I also have a host.conf file with:

        #Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit
        hosts
        bind

and for reference nsswitch.conf has:

        hosts: files dns

Since I am using DHCP which is on my NT box, I have options set for a
WINS server and Node-type of H-Node.  I think I know the answer but I'll
ask, does this affect FreeBSD's Network configuration in some way?
