2. Write down the web address returned by the ping command (In the
example above: mail.msnv3.occa.home.com.). This web address is the web
address assigned to the IP address you just pinged. While the IP address of
"mail" could conceivably change, it is likely that this web address will not.
3. Replace your ISP's abbreviated server address with this extended web
address in the corresponding Internet application (web browser, e-mail
application, etc.).
Once you have replaced the brief server address with the true server address,
your Router should have no problem accessing the Internet through that
Internet application.
