What is the 'dns' side? How does one 're-stack' a network? DNS is short for
"Domain Name Service", and it is a component of the Internet; while DNS
servers may be pinged, they aren't a separate 'side' of the Internet. And
the only 'stacking' for networks is the TCP/IP 'stack', which is a
conceptual description of the way the TCP/IP protocol is configured. But you
either have the TCP/IP protocol installed, or you don't have it installed.

How many computers do you have on your network? How are they connected? What
are the operating systems? Do you have a dial-up Internet connection, or a
high speed Internet connection?
