Need explanation on how DNS works on home LAN

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



If my home router (Netgear) is supplying DHCP to the network, and
ipconfig /all reveals the DNS servers from my provider, but not the
address of the router itself, how do the names of the nodes on my LAN
get resolved? Also, if I add a new system to the network, it cannot
resolve names for quite a while after being connected, so I must
connect to shares by IP number. Is there a way to speed this process
up?
