Stebbo,
so then the "nameserver IP" is the company the internet bill is paid to in a number format.

Hi Puntz,

essentially yes.... it will be the number of one of their machines... depending upon the size of the internet company, they may have multiple computers performing separate tasks... but yes, it is one of their computers.


One more question.
Those 255.255.255 set of numbers. (netmask)
If it's set 255.0.0.0, is this a threat to ones internet security on a ADSL connection when it is configured in the external firewall PC ?

Sorry, but I don't have enough information to answer that one.... A netmask determines what part of an IP address is considered "local", and what part is considered "external", so the netmask can have a bearing on security.

Cheers,
Chris.
