SCSI Moi ?

a. you mean to use a local DNS server (as the 192.168.0/24 net is a non-routed
   private one), just edit your /etc/resolv.conf and add a line like

   nameserver 192.168.0.1

   In any other case, just use your ISP's nameserver in here

b. you mean setting up your own (internal) DNS. This is not a simple thing
   todo, as you need to know BIND's config syntax, and adress record
   specification. Better use your /etc/hosts file first.
   make sure /etc/resolv.conf uses this file first instead of bind:

   lookup                  file bind

   (BIND, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon documentation can be found at
   http://www.isc.org/bind.html if you still want to try it...)
