RH7 behind Windows-based NAT

[rnorris at ryannorris.com (Ryan Norris)]

Upon some further investigation - it appears i can indeed get outside 
the LAN, but the nameserver is resolving to my gateway, and thus 
something like 'ping slashdot.org' returns an unknown host.

is the best solution probably to dig up the nameserver addresses for my 
cable provider and enter those into the nameserver table?
