Thanks for all your explanations.
Here are my replies to your questions.

I am pretty sure they do it.
This morning, I looked at the router status page and saw the 2 DNS IP
entries. This afternoon, my computer was unable to resolve any host
name.
In order to solve the problem, I forced the router to get the
configuration again from the DSL modem and I noticed that the second
DNS entry changed (and I was able to resolve the host names)

This is Free (a French ISP) and the Web site is "www.free.fr"

I double-checked this and I am sure that I am using DHCP.

I did not find the lease information on the router status page. Perhaps
I should upgrade the BIOS ?
