When I select a link to a Web site in SeaMonkey, is there some way to

david, check out flagfox, using xsidebar's modification.

and always, mucho thanks goes out to philip for his efforts! :)
Flagfox seems to give me only the location of the target page. I want
the name or IP address of the DNS server that was used to locate the Web
server of the target page.
I am a RoadRunner subscriber. I have read some reports about
deficiencies in RoadRunner's DNS servers. Since RoadRunner is national,
I would expect they have several DNS servers. I have no idea what DSN
server is used to resolve the IP address when I give SeaMonkey the
domain of a Web site.
gotcha. hmmm, do you have your computer set to "obtain ip
automatically?" if so, you can find what dns server number you're using
by going into the default network connection on the computer.
if not, and it's set to "automatic," follow these instructions and it
will give you what dns servers your pc is using....
Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.
Click 'Run...' on this menu.
Type 'cmd' in the text box that appears. A command prompt window
launches on the desktop.
In this command window, type 'ipconfig /all'. Details are shown for each
of the computer's network adapters. Computers installed with VPN
software or emulation software will possess one or more virtual adapters.
The 'IP Address' field states the current IP address for that network
adapter.
The 'Physical Address' field states the MAC address for that adapter.
once you find out your dns server address, do a google search "alternate
dns server for xx.xx.xx.xxx" or "slow connection for dns server
xx.xx.xx.xxx", which should give enough reading material to keep you busy!
