A name server (also spelled nameserver) consists of a program or computer server that implements a name-service protocol. It maps a human-recognizable identifier to a system-internal, often numeric, identification or addressing component.

With fewer words: a nameserver makes your browser go to 209.191.122.70 when you go to Yahoo.

Responsible mail adress is the e-mail address corresponding to a given name server. For example if you send a mail to example@yahoo.com the mail server is responsible of knowing that mail has to go to yahoo's mail server.

Time to live:

1. Time to live (sometimes abbreviated TTL) is a limit on the period of time or number of iterations or transmissions in computer and computer network technology that a unit of data (e.g. a packet) can experience before it should be discarded.

2. The maximum time an internet Protocol datagram is allowed to live in the internet before it is dropped to avoid infinite loop forwarding. A router a datagram passes through decrements the Time-to-Live field each time a datagram passes through it. If the field reached zero, the datagram is dropped.

With fewer words:

If yahoo sets its nameserver to make www.yahoo.com to correspond to 209.191.122.70 with TTL of 2 days and press ok buton. Then the packet would be launched to all DNS servers around the world with time to live 2 days and all request for www.yahoo.com would point to 209.191.122.70 for the next 2 days no matter if we change the value in the nameserver. This is why we have to wait a lot of time when we set our servers.

Why do you setup default gateway server address?

First, you have to know what the default gateway address for your LAN segment is. This might mean talking to your network administrator. Usually this address is set automatically by the DHCP protocol, so you don't need to do anything. If you are using a set of static addresses, then you can specify the default gateway address in one of the Windows network dialog boxes. For Unix/Linux, the 'ifconfig' command allows you to set the default gateway address. For server 2008 (including Server 2008 Core) use the netsh command to set the default gateway address (if not using DHCP).
