Yep.
(Hi Albone )

DNS = Domain Name Service which basiclyturns www.whatever.com into an IP address.
As an example, www.nthellworld.co.uk resolves to 216.40.241.59

Trouble is (for me) NTHW.co.uk is the only site I can go to as it's the only site I know the IP addy for.... I am aware that I can use a proxy for Internet Explorer but I play on-line games and need DNS resolution.
