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.
Thank
you very much in advance.
