Hi,
I've got a (maybe simple) question regarding dns settings.
I've changed mine to use Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
However, when I use nslookup with a domain, the dns server it returns is my ISP server (Virgin Media at 194.168.4.100)
Why is this? Shouldn't it return 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4?
I've flushed the dns. My hosts file has nothing of significance in it. Same result.
Thanks.

Went on a different route?
Would be nice to see:
perhaps you should obscure the MAC addresses.
mac $ ifconfig
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD>
gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=10b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_HWTAGGING,AV>
ether 98:...:eb

media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control>)
status: activeThanks for any info
I switched to using a static IP address and this seems to have solved the issue.
Not sure why this is the case. Time to do some reading...
Oh, the DNS number was being overwritten by your router [ I'd assume ]. I thought that there was some way of getting your web address from your router, but supplying the DNS address yourself. It could be I'm remembering this from my windows days. Seems odd that mac os is allowing you to supply the DNS address then ignoring it.
Interesting find.
