Default port forwarding help

Hello,
I am trying to set up port forwarding. To do this I am instructed to set up a static IP address. To do this I have run into a problem identifying my Name Servers. The directions say the following

"Some router's act as a proxy between the actual name servers and your computer. You will know when this is the case, because the Default Gateway will list the same ip address as the Name Servers entry. We need to have the correct Name Server IP addresses. If we do not, you will not be able to browse the web. There are a couple ways to get these. The first way is to log into your router's web interface, and look at your router's status page. On that page you should see an entry for DNS Servers, or Name Servers. Write down the ip adresses of your Name Servers."

In my case the Gateway and the DNS have the same IP address. Can anyone tell me how to log onto my router's web interface and look at the status page to find the correct Name Server IP addresses? I have a Netgear WGT624 router.

Any suggestions is appreciated.
