On my system, the nameserver has the IP address(es) of the DNS server. Here
these are provided by my ISP. If you run your own DNS server, the nameserver
should have the IP address of that server. Unless your router provides DNS
services for your LAN, that is the wrong IP and would explain why the browser
is always 'looking up ...'.
