no. I have nothing. Not sure what my default gateway address is. Where do I find the Nameserver? Im new to this--thanks for your time

Your default gateway will be the address of your router on your local network.

For nameservers use the gateway address as one and try 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the other two.

Ok this is working, but will my server be exposed to malicious virus and hacker by being open on the Internet. My server is plug into my router which has a firewall?

would appreciate your comments --Thank You

Your router is a hardware firewall protecting all the devices on your LAN. It is providing a range of private addresses to your LAN devices and translating traffic in and out of your router's public IP to the appropriate internal IP address. I expect that the gateway address you have for your LAN from your router is likely 192.168.1.1 or similar?
