Get your info at ipconfig/all, Port Forward shows me the wrong info and a few others too. But sounds like your DNS server and Default Gateway may show the same address. If you can't find your DNS there, in your router or from your ISP, try Open DNS. Don't know about Ireland but never heard anything but good about it. Seen a few threads about it. You can read about it here and decide for yourself: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=150520 I have tried it but to be fair, there was nothing to improve on. Free too.
Ive been using BitLord. New to it too, but got some good quality stuff from there. Had a couple of probs burning them, which is down to my lack of knowledge. Make sure you read the reviews of the files before downloading, as other people rate them who have downloaded it. If its rated as good file it is in my experience
