Need some help here

[Mighty Mouse]

Ok, I need the DNS number/s for Netzero if there is any. I am not really sure what a DNS number is but I need it and if you can tell me where to find it or what it is it would be great.

Thanks!

DNS

(1) Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com (http://www.example.com) might translate to 198.105.232.4.

The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

Now that you have a basic idea of what DNS is here are the numbers and server names for netzero.

NS1.NETZERO.NET 209.247.162.20
NS2.NETZERO.NET 209.247.162.12

You can get these for any domain by going to http://www.networksolutions.com and performing a 'whois'.
