Hi Puntz,

the "nameserver ip address" is the numerical address of the nameserver. A nameserver is a computer which has a list of names and ip addresses.

IP (for Internet Protocol) addresses are the "phone numbers" for each computer on the internet. The nameserver is the "white pages", where you can look up a name, and get the phonenumber.

When you type http://www.propun.com.au into your browser to come to this website, your browser goes off and asks it's local nameserver "what is the phone number for http://www.propun.com.au", and then goes and dials the number.

To get the nameserver address, you will need to ring your ISP. Even those of us "in the know" generally need to ask our ISP at least once what their nameserver address is. (there are some very well known public ones, but it's generally best to use your ISP's first, and the public ones as a last resort). When you ring your ISP, they might say "heh, you don't need it, Windoze will get it automatically"... just explain that you're not using windoze, and that you really do need the ip address.... It should be a number of the form
203.xxx.xxx.xxx

Cheers,
Chris.
