Margot , here is my resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 68.13.16.30 search cox.net based on that I would say that you only need what is related to your comp and freeserve. So search freeserve.com nameserver 192.168.100.6 nameserver 212.24.65.65 nameserver 212.24 65.199 assuming that the last two are indeed the nameserver IPs for freeserve.
