It should be as simple as editing /etc/resolv.conf %cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 136.183.2.3 nameserver 204.168.57.250 Where nameserver address is your ISP's nameserver. I'm not sure what the consequences are of picking just any old nameserver, but it's never given me any problems that I'm aware of.
