Could somebody explain Nameservers to me? To create them do i need a dedicated IP to my site?

Forgive my ignorance,

Yes.. A name server needs a dedicated IP. I suggest reading networksolutions FAQ on HOSTS
http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/help/host.jhtml

Then look trough various sites listed here.

you need 2 dedicated IPs that link back to your box. Then register those ips under s nameservers through your registrars. then plug them in as your dns and yoy should be good to go.
