Under Windows 9x, there's a program you can run called winipcfg that should
give the information. I think you need to click on the Advanced button (do
this after you've connected). There's a drop down combo box to select the
right connection (if you happen to have more than one).

Under Windows NT/2000, you can use the "ipconfig /all" option from the
command line to obtain DNS information.
