I guess 192.168.0.1 is your router ip? If it is, then it's ok to use it as a nameserver, as long as your router got a dns (usually the isp's) in it.

It means your eth0 is set to look for dhcp. Well, in my dsl router, the setting are like this: WAN: automatically assigned from the ISP LAN: 192.10.10.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Internal dhcp: no And then in my proxy box: eth0: 192.10.10.2 subnet: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.10.10.1 eth1: 192.168.1.0 subnet: 255.255.255.0 HTH, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 17:59:13 up 3:27, 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 GNU/Linux public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key
