WinXP will then get your ISPs DNS name servers.
Running a caching name server on a two PC network is probably more trouble than its worth.
Here is an example of what to put in /etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 63.67.120.14, 63.67.120.13;
option ip-forwarding off;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
Um, this was not very clear to me. I gathered that I must: 1) have in my network setup knowledge about the ISP's DNS addresses. OR 2) If the gateway acts as a local caching nameserver, I have to use my IP as DNS address.
Where could I find out about these two situations? Is the choise of 1 or 2 up to me, or does it depend upon the ISP?

Thank you Alex! As usual, your post brings me bounds closer to my goal.
