Ok, if I don't ask some stupid questions, I will never elevate myself out of the slime (or maybe I just need a shower). What is the difference between a DNS and an IP address. OTTool is reporting very slightly different numbers. I have been entering what it calls my IP address (what I connect to) into the Name Server Addr. field. Is this why my PowerBooks won't leave the stable? If so, why do my Mac Plus and G3 connect like crazy when I do the same thing?
