Peeg, those are not appropriate commands. I would suggest "man resolv.conf".

Homik, You put dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf in similar lines:

nameserver 1.2.3.4

However, You can use GUI to do it as well. In Mandriva 2006 click (STAR)->System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer. You need root password to access the application. Then click "Network & Internet", then "Alter miscellaneous internet settings".

Easy like in Windows. Why people still think, that they need to use console all the time  X-/ ?

because alot of geeks (like me) who use linux, use the command line.

by-the-way, is there an EASY way of getting bittorent on linux? I'm stuck with trying to download/install twisted psychotic pythons ;D and all kind of junk. All i want to do is play PS and the other mirror site doesn't work :'(

right click, go to permissions, check 'executable', then double click (or single click if you set up like that) I guess.
