Re: ISP server assigned nameserver addressing - how?
in 99.9% of cases you do not have to use your ISP's DNS. you can use any
DNS(use mine if you want 209.102.24.193 & 194) to find an ISP's numeric
DNS i would suggest using WHOIS, or dig.
dig domainname.com
whois domainname.com
both will give u numeric DNS settings for the domain.
