Are you sure you see N "hashes" not khashes or even MHashes? This seem to be very slow. If you are mining Bitcoin you can calculate your estimated time to generate a bitcoin block here: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php

However in most cases it's better to mine on a pool: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pooled_mining

Furthermore you are on the namecoin forum. While namecoin is nearly the same like bitcoin it's not exactly the same. Perhaps you might want to have a look at the bicoin forum: https://bitcointalk.org/
