DNS using DHCP

Is it possible to have BeOS configure the DNS servers using DHCP? If not, does anyone know a trick to figure out what Win2000 is *really* using for DNS server addresses, since it is currently obtaining the address automatically. Thanks!

IMHO, consult your ISP company as to what to point to for DNS if it doesn't work.

I have been using DNS on several companies and computers and have never had a trouble. BeOS uses FIRST a file that you might add if in deep trouble. Find hosts-sample and study. Then it looks to network prefs for the DNS server name and ip numbers for pri and secondary. The provider should tell you the DNS service name and IP.
