If you need only to tell your system which DNS to use, edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and put two lines:<br />
<br />
search subdomain.your-domain.com your-domain.com<br />
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn<br />
<br />
Second line is important: put the IP address of the DNS server of your provider.<br />
<br />
Don't know if is only this information you are searching, so I am posting as a comment. Let me know if you need more detail or if it is ok.<br />

Well, your question is a little bit more complex.<br />
<br />
Look in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs for a text file named &quot;ISP-Hookup-HOWTO&quot;. If you don't have this text, search in the SunSite ftp site (host name: sunsite.unc.edu, folder /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.<br />
<br />
Good luck.<br />

Problems with DNS

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
