DNS & Router

Should my internal network show my ROUTER as the DNS server ip address? I don't recall it doing so before. I'm having problems trying to access my website that has recently been moved from one host server to another outside the network. At work, I can hit the site fine, but at home, it's spotty, hit or miss. Sometimes I can get the server, and sometimes it says the host domain doesn't exist.

Sounds like a DNS issue, but I'm trying to narrow down if it's the ISP or my internal network.
 
The router should forward DNS requests. If you can access other sites fine it's probably not a DNS issue, not sure what else it could be though...
 
Actually I tracked it down. My internet is through Earthlink over cable (contracted through Brighthouse Networks - part of Roadrunner). It turns out that the two DNS servers that DHCP is pushing me are ns1.mindspring.com and ns2.mindspring.com - these to servers refuse to recognize my domain (neftastic.com). If you do an nslookup:

nslookup neftastic.com ns1.mindspring.com

:it just times out. If you use ANY other name server other than mindspring's servers, they resolve just fine. I just finished up a chat session with Earthlink, they will be changing me from the mindspring DNS servers to earthlink's servers. I just need my wife to reset the cable modem and all should be well. (nslookup neftastic.com ns1.earthlink.net works fine... so...)

Here's to hoping.
