Basically the Axiom board is asking "Who are you? Are you who you claim to be?" and his local firewall software stops his computer from replying. Thus, the Axiom board says "POO ON YOU SPAMMER!" and does not allow him to post.

Oh, and DNS stands for Domain Name System. It's a large (if not the world's largest) distributed database. Computers address each other with numbers (usually an ip address like 10.34.45.122). We humans are not all so good at memorizing strings of numbers. But, we do quite well with strings of letters. So DNS translates those numbers in to letters. Everytime you type in www.axiomaudio.com or www.mrbearsvacation.com your computer talks to a DNS server and asks for directions (what IP address) on where to get those two sites.
