*Ahem* The Domain Name System or
DNS is a system that stores information about host names and domain
names on networks, such as the Internet. Most importantly, it provides
an IP address (which is a machine readable address, in binary form i.e.
1's and 0's) for each host name (i.e. eskimofriends), and lists the
mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">

The DNS forms a vital part of the
Internet, because hardware requires IP addresses to perform routing,
but humans use host names and domain names, for example in URLs and
e-mail addresses.</span>[img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img]
Edit: Also, A mask, also known as a subnet mask, netmask or address mask, is a 32-bit bitmask used to inform routers ( routers </span>forward a data packet toward its destination</span>
) as to how much of an IP address identifies the subnetwork the host is
on and how much identifies the host. This is used to make loads of
adddress or subnets to apprear to the outside world as one.
So the problem lies somewhere in all that!
