Well, I can see your Apache page. Apparently, according to you, because of that I am a **** smuggler.
68.187.23.162 would be your external IP address. The 192.x.x.x address would be your internal IP address.There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Since I can get to your site, the internet's name servers are doing their job. Unless you want to set up a caching server for your internal network, you don't really NEED a nameserver, and if you're hosting then I assume you're set up with a static IP address externally. If not, then you probably will want to visit dyndns.org

I am a **** smuggler too. lol...
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

haha ok i understand that its not needed but if someone types robotcult.net i want them to go to that **** smuggler page
and eventually the site that ill have up there. but when i type 68.187.230.162:8080 or just 68.187.230.162 into the nameserver update on the registrars page (godaddy.com) it just says "Nameserver 1 has an invalid TLD" and i have no idea what that means... ugh im sorry maybe if i had some sleep in me this would be easier.... 
eeeyyaa thanks so far for your help guys!!!!!!
