2.

Write down the web address returned by the ping command

. (In the

example above: mail.msnv3.occa.home.com.) This web address is the web

address assigned to the IP address you just pinged. While the IP address

of “mail” could conceivably change, it is likely that this web address will

not.

Replace your ISP’s abbreviated server address

with this extended web

address in the corresponding Internet application (web browser, e-mail

application, etc.).

Once you have replaced the brief server address with the true server address,

your Router should have no problem accessing the Internet through that

Internet application.
