      Carlos,
      To call your ISP who gives your Internet service (comcast), check the Internet monthly bill to find phone number, and ask tech support.

      Or you can go to start run type in cmd and then type in ipconfig /all and yiu should see dns in there… Or you can look in router status if you have a router.

      P.S Good job technical support for dodging an easy question and forwarding it to an isp.
