Dammit, why does the connection test keep failing at the DNS bit. What is DNS? Why is it bodging me up? Why don't these DNS IP's i got from command prompt work? Why don't I just bagger ICS and try direct connect. Actually, good idea...

Yeah DNS should be set automatically I think, because with ICS the PC has already worked that out for you.

Isn't there an option to search for it automatically and not manually enter it?

DNS = Dynamic Name Server

There are about 10 of these in the world which hold all the IP addresses of all the IP's around the world. There maybe more but it's a very small number.
