The flaw in the question is the "isp server". ISP's will have MANY different "servers" in their network, of which the DNS (Domain Name SERVER) is only one of them.
Any device on an IP network requires an IP address. This can be a public address (addressable from the world) or a private address (addressable only from within their own network).
For example, if you have DSL or Cable, your modem will have a public address on the internet side (WAN) that is assigned by the ISP's addressing scheme (either static or dynamic), and on the LAN side of the modem, there will be a private address - usually 192.168.0.1 . Your PC will be 192.168.0.2, which a LOT of people have that very same address on their PC - How? The modem does NAT (Network Address Translation) that ALLOWS outbound communication (not inbound).
So - I hope this cleared it up some.

Usually. The DNS is the server your ISP uses to resolve domain names (meaning turns "yahoo.com" into the IP address for the site). Usually that is the same server you connect to when you log in. If not, the log in server is normally set up to transfer any request to the DNS server.
If that does not work, contact your ISP and they will be able to give you the DNS information.

The isp dns is the server that resolves address names to its appropriate ip address, if you connect by router probably need to enter it in, otherwise after sometime you cant connect to websites, but msn or others like that may work. I dont quiet know what you mean by the isp server ip, i think you mean the ip they assign you when you connect to it.

No, completely different. You need them both to have access to the internet. The IP is a number designated to your computer and the DNS is your connection with your provider. Imagine the DNS like your check book routing number and the IP like your account number.
