Ah, okay, that's simple enough. If your Linux machine has a DNS server on
board, specify that one as the DNS in your OS/2 configuration. If it doesn't,
you have to specify your ISP's DNS server addresses (IP addresses, no
_names_!). Your could do all this automatically by using a DHCP server in your 
network, but there's not much point if you use only a few of networked pc's.
