Win9x picks up it's DNS addresses via DHCP. It's possible that newer
versions of the DHCP client for linux can get DNS info, but I've always
manually set them for linux. If you boot to Win9x, & do start->run &
type "winipcfg" (no quotes) it will pop up a box w/ your IP info. Then
click on advanced (I think), it will be close to the top of the box, &
you can get your DNS addresses from there to plug into linux..
