You can get the information you're looking for from one of the other computers hooked up by DHCP. If it's linux, you'll find that in their /etc/resolv.conf, and if it's windows 9x/ME, you can get it by running winipcfg, and if it's windows NT/2k/XP, you can get it by running "ipconfig /all" in a windows command prompt. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
