I recently signed up with my provider (cable modem) for a static
IP address and
duly received one.However when I was trying to get the program "talk" to work
in cooperation with a USA-based friend it came to my attention that the same IP address
is registered to a completely different domain name in some servers.
I am based
in the Czech Republic and here my IP address appears to be completely kosher.
But some nameservers in the USA produce the other address.
I wanted to ask what
is the accepted procedure for reporting problems of this nature (other than contacting
my provider, which I've already done).
I also wanted to ask for pointers
to any good sources of information (FAQs, etc.) on the subject of DNS and domain
name registration, especially the technical and political aspects thereof.
