What is my DNS server?

Hi,

I have the @home server - I know what my IP address is (I set up a webserver and can access it using my IP), but when I registered for my domain name, they needed 2 DNS server addresses. Is that the same DNS server that I have set in my TCP/IP properties, i.e. the two that @home gave me?

No, don't give them the @home DNS servers.
You need to provide two DNS servers that will handle your domain. These servers will answer all requests for "yourdomain.whatever". Look at Zone Edit or DynDns.org for hosting your domain name.

Cool, thanks.

So I just set up an account there and email that name server they give me to the company I registered my domain name with?

Another question - apparently I get up to 200MB of DNS bandwith.
If I transfer, lets say, mp3s from that server (or streaming real audio or whatever), I am limited to 200MB? Or just everytime someone types in my domain name (so just the amount of my index.html file)?
