DNS question? so confused.?
I'm so confused,When my PC sends a packet out to a web server,does my pc send a DNS look up packet to the web server of the HTTP page I want or does it go to my ISP or does it go to some other server which in turn sends back the IP address of the website I am looking for??

The packet goes to the DNS server defined by your network, and it returns the Ip address that you will connect to....
In most cases, the DNS server is one run by your ISP.

if you did not manually set dns on your router or pc then it is handled by your isp.
