I have tried, and ping returns a message saying it can't find the host (eg.
www.netscape.com).
The thing is, my ISP don't have a given DNS: what now?
cheers

Unknown host www.netscape.com

Here are your DNS numbers for post1.com.
You can find these from the net by using the
whois domain-name
such as:
s1: {2} whois post1.com
known host www.netscape.com
SO what am I suppose to do now?

If they refuse to give out that information, I'd look for another ISP,

Your ISP *does* use a DNS server, but they probably don't normally have to
tell their typical Windows-based user about it.
The DNS server address can be automatically passed to the client TCP/IP
stack

That's most likely the problem. Try pinging 204.71.200.75 (yahoo.com)
to see if that
