There is no conversion. it's an abitrary assignment in DNS servers. 12.10.122.101 could be msn.com google.com or whatever it was assigned to. if your dns isn't working you should check your settings with your ISP. they have a DNS server on their end you should be connecting to. it's what tells you that msn.com is 12.10.122.101 or whatever it's actual ip address may be.
