[SOLVED] Which DNS servers did DHCP tell me to use?
While I still do not know if and which command allows one to retrieve all information transferred by a DHCP transaction, three people (Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Ori Idan and Micha ) pointed out the file /etc/resolv.conf Meanwhile, I found that when connection starts, the original /etc/resolv.conf is renamed as /etc/resolv.conf.pppd-backup, and a new /etc/resolv.conf is filled with values from the DHCP server. When connection is severed, the original /etc/resolv.conf is restored. There are also /etc/dhclient-script, /etc/dhclient.conf (consisting only of comments), etc/dhcp3 (a directory, which has hooks for ntpdate and samba). --- Omer -- My Commodore 64 is suffering from slowness and insufficiency of memory; and its display device is grievously short of pixels.
