Wayne,
The Domain Name Server (DNS) looks up the web addresses that you type into your browser and converts them to IP addresses that the internet servers understand.
Your router cannot act as a DNS, entering the address of your router (or your PC) into those fields in your router will balls it up.
You need to enter them into the correct fields on the properties page for your Network adaptor.
Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
Right click on the icon for your network adaptor (the wireless one if you're connecting wirelessly, the ethernet one if that's how you're connected)
Click on "Internet Protocal TCP/IP"
Click Properties
Select "Use the following IP address"
You should have written down all of the information from earlier on - enter it in these boxes.
You don't need to enter the DNS addresses into your router, it will obtain those when it gets the IP address from your ISP.
