Default DNS Question

Is there any way without phoning my isp (again) that I can find out what my DNS address' are? The primary and secondary ones?

I have a Netgear ADSL modem wireless router and during the setting up phase it connects using the manually entered information - IP address DNS address', and it claims to be connected but the web page doesn't display. I rang up my ISP and after an age of waiting (and probably a few quid) they told me the settings I needed to enter, but I think one of them maybe wrong. I read somewhere in the instructions that it might be the dns.

I am a computer retard, so please be gentle

normally its a dynamic DNS address, but if you connect directly to the internet, not using the router, load up command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL and hit enter it will list the DNS there..

Can I ask who your with ISP wise?

Thanks pimmo2000 My isp is talktalk.

This will probably sound dumb, but - how do I get the command prompt?
