If you really want to know their DNS then go to a registration outfit like register.com and look up your provider by name, i.e., earthlink.net, comcast.net, comcast.com with their search function, then click on the View Whois for the ones you find and you will get all the DNS you can stand.
The nameservers I get that way are different from the ones that my router tells me about.
The nameservers you get that way are authoritative for their respective domains and have nothing to do with nameservers your router is pointed to. All you need for your computer is dns lookup. And that could be any server, including running your own on your computer. To learn more have a look at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/intro-dns.html Regards, -Kastus
