We have ONLY a Local Network Without subnets, a think the DGW is not
neccesary.

The Default gateway is necessary if it has to communicate with any server
not on its own subnet, which means you need a gateway to communicate the DNS
servers at your ISP, since they are also not on your subnet. Without a DGW,
you will have to use your router as the forwarder.


We have a DSL router(XXX.XXX.XXX.2) for the Internet connection.

As Kevin says, must in the Forwarders, the IP address of the Router??
Momentaly are 2 IP external- adress from our ISP there, is this
wrong??

Think about this, "Momentaly are 2 IP external- adress from our ISP there"
if you have no gateway, how is it going to find the external servers?
(Unless you have created a static route to them) in a cmd prompt type route
print and hit enter. if there is no default route, you won't be able to
communicate off your subnet, and when you ping your ISP's DNS you will get
destination host unreachable.

You could conceivably add a static route to your ISP's DNS, and get around
the DGW, but you'll need to check the box, "Do not use recursion"
