You are correct that web browsing requires a DNS server. However, as I understand it, many ISPs automatically assign your DNS server when you connect.


Can anyone confirm this?


yes, that's the way all the dial-up accounts I've used work: they automatically give you a dns. In windows there's a place to check accepting something like this, I think, and it's on by default ... so what then?

Of course, you can always enter a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf.
