Re: DNS Servers for Insight?
I've never heard of an ISP being that hardcore about it's DNS servers. They used to print them out right on the work order sheet they gave you when @HOME ran the show. Not sure what they do now. My DNS servers are =
63.240.76.4, 204.127.198.4 But isn't this different for each area? Hope Insight or no 1 else snaps for me drop those 2 ip's in there. But there it is all the same. You shouldn't have any need for them if you have the connection set to DHCP. But from your post above. You may in fact need the info for some reason.

| Your DNS servers are pretty much the same for each area, they won't change unless they re-vamp the entire network. I cannot recommend that you statically set your DNS servers in your network settings, but honestly I don't see a problem with it.
HOWEVER...
Setting up your actual IP addresses (With InsightBB.com your ip is either a 12.220.x.x or 12.222.x.x) statically either on your ROUTER or on your computer itself is bad. What happens is, the entire INSIGHTbb.com network is set dynamically. Your IP may or may not change every 5 days, as long as your router or computer(s) are set DHCP (Optain an IP address automatically) then you will not have a problem. When you set yourself statically then your lease is up on that IP, you hold onto it 'cause of your settings. This is why INSIGHTbb.com has you register your MAC's on the SAS sight to eliminate IP theft, as well ensuring that the customers subscribes to the needed number of IP addresses that they need for their home networks. INSIGHTbb.com has a team that does nothing but port scans, watches the CISCO routers, and so on, looking for duplicate IP's, servers being run, etc..etc..

I ran my traceroute. I get ns1.attbi.com That's what I was looking for. As far as I know those ips & names stay the same. They are tied to there domain name. Whois will give you that info. At the time I didn't realized that. Forgot that ATTBI is the parent co of Insight.
