Do you remember the address of your ISP's DNS servers, or a friend's ISP's
DNS servers? They'll work, whether you are a subscriber or not, in most
cases. Only in some cases they may be configured to only accept queries from
their subscriber subnets, but for the most part they will accept any
queries.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:

Hi
Can you explain what you're trying to do?
How do you connect to the Internet?
Probably you're using some ISP account right?

4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 belong to Verizon and are always an excellent source.

Do you want these for hosting a domain name?
If yes, use your registrar.
-or-
Do you want these for resolving Internet names?
If yes, you should use your ISP's resolvers since they are usually
physically closer to your client machines.
There are a lot of DNS resolvers you can use, but if you are in Los Angeles
would you really want to ask a server in Podunk to resolve a DNS name? (No
offense intended for anyone that lives in Podunk)

Good point, Kevin.

But, you know, I've never heard of Podunk, so I just had to look it up...

Where is Podunk?

I guess we could have also used Jabip? (Lot's of hits on that search!!)
