What kind of connection did you set up? A manual one? That's the only
connection where you would have to specifically provide the DNS/Name server
addresses. If so, I'm surprised that you have to setup a manual connection.
Are you sure you're not supposed to configure it as a DHCP connection?

evil and rude adj.: Both evil and rude, but with the additional connotation
that the rudeness was due to malice rather than incompetence. Thus, for
example: Microsoft's Windows NT is evil because it's a competent
implementation of a bad design; it's rude because it's gratuitously
incompatible with Unix in places where compatibility would have been as easy
and effective to do; but it's evil and rude because the incompatibilities
are apparently there not to fix design bugs in Unix but rather to lock
hapless customers and developers into the Microsoft way. Hackish evil and
rude is close to the mainstream sense of `evil'.
