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.
