I tried to find this basic information on Cox's web site and via Cox "chat". The web site has various ancient info about Windows 7 configuration and about Business DNS. Cox Chat told me to call support (!). Calling Tech Support resulted in my own IP address, then gave me the next node-towards-Cox IP address (10.4.etc.etc) but had no answer at all about DNS.There's one page on Cox that shows an image of a network setup dialog that has a numeric value for a San Diego DNS server. Using that numeric value I got the symbolic name and, fiddling, found ns.cox.net and ns.east.cox.net and was able to get their numeric IP values, however using them ala "nslookup cnn.com numeric_value" broke with a "Query refused".
I'm back to using OpenDNS.
So...what =Cox= DNS addresses could I be using here in Northern Virginia? And what would be the "no redirect" addresses?
