That's what I thought. I'm not running DNS on my home network and it
seems to run fine, with one exception:
When I telnet from my Win98 machine (which has a modem) to the Linux
server, the 98 machine wants to dial my ISP to reach it via the
internet. If I cancel the dialout, the telnet session proceeds normally
over my LAN.
Anybody have any suggestions?
I'm using 10.x.x.x as my IP address series. Should it be 192.168.x.x
instead?
Thanks.

I do just fine without running DNS, not even a chachign name server.
Just
use a hosts file on you linux box, and point all the machines to your
isp's DNS servers
