What is DNS? How do I test it?

Well I have not configured DNS on Windows Operating Systems for a while, and, today I thought I would look up a tutorial and start practising.  However, I am not sure how to create a DNS which I can 'lookup' through the internal network.  My computers are connected to a router which obviously has a public IP on the Internet and probably some internal IP assigned through the operating system, however I am not sure how to read it.  

Through the DNS manager I created a primary DNS named theden.net.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]

C:\Users\Administrator>nslookup
Default Server:  ns.melitacable.com
Address:  212.56.128.132

It would seem that the nameserver it uses belongs to the ISP, can I switch to using an internal nameserver for training or doesn't this idea make sense?
