I guess I am having trouble telling exactly what you are asking!
IP addresses dont have nameservers, nameservers are used to point to IP addresses!

IF I am reading your question correctly, your ISP gave you IP numbers to use for DNS entries?

If so those are the nameserver IP addresses and you wont have namerservers for nameserver IP's they ARE NAMESERVERS.

If you are setting up your system you just enter those IP's where it asks for nameservers. (Assuming you are setting up a static system.)

Now if your ISP gave you those so you can setup your own namerservers you will use those IPs on your server (bound to your ethernet adapter). Go to your registrar (wherever you registered your domain) and ADD those two ips as nameservers you can call them anything you like like dns1.yourdomain.com dns2.yourdomain.com and setup the DNS on your server using those names.?

So for clairfication once more....
IP addresses dont have nameservers, name servers are used to point to IP addresses!

if you go into cmd prompt and type "ipconfig /all" nameservers will be listed there
