This is in relation to JackBoneTX's thread and how it fixed Art_Deco's problem (as the rest of us more or less eventually got the site back on our various devices).
I know what "DNS" stands for and have a very vague idea of how it works but it is far from clear to me. I understand that the DNS network translates alphanumeric domain names into IP addresses.
I did NOT know that one could change one's DNS settings to something other than those provided by one's ISP.
How does *that* work? I *assume* the DNS setting is itself an IP address--but how is it that you can change a provided DNS to some other number? What is happening when you do that??
