How is my 2811 resolving DNS?

[umbernaut]

I do:

"ping google.com"

On my 2811 and it resolves and pings.

I do the same on my new 1811 and it gives:

"Translating "google.com"...domain server (255.255.255.255)

% Unrecognized host or address, or protocol not running."

So, I added to the 1811:

"ip name-server [public ip gateway]"

And can now resolve google.com on it too, but how is my 2811 resolving names?  I can find nothing in its config showing a name server or dns server entry.  Is there a show command that reveals a name server?

#show ip dns view

Hi,

what does sh run | i dns says?

Alain.

"#sh run | i dns"

Outputs nothing just returns to a new prompt.
