This weekend I'm going to set up DSL with a modem and Linksys 4-port router...
for my computer and my wife's Win98 box.

Why do I have to enter in resolv.conf:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yy

Dial-up PPP (KPPP in KDE) seems to put entries in that file for me. Won't a
router get this info for me and take care of DNS and NAT.

Is NAT and DNS the same thing (roughly speaking?)

On a Win98 box you I'm told to NOT enter any DNS IPs.

Can anyone explain or point me to a reference on why Slack needs DNS IPs and
Win does not.
