Solve : Configuring a static Lan ip Address?

Answer»

Hello there.

I am following a guide to create a static lan IP address.

http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm

But i have become a BIT stuck on these DNS servers (name servers)

I am using a BT Home hub 2.0, and have been searching in the manager for these, with no luck.

I found a website which lists DNS server names, but i was trying to make sure if this is correct.

Enter

194.73.73.172
194.73.73.173

192.168.1.254 is the router. It's not really the DNS server it means your computer asks the router and the router asks the DNS server instead of your computer asking the DNS server.Quote from: TechGeek on September 23, 2009, 08:52:05 PM

Thanks for replying.

I have just found this in the hub manager, Burried in a sub menu and wondered if these are the right ones




So at the bottom tcp/ip settings
primary DNS
secondary DNS

Are these the DNS servers

*Internet connection configuration*

*Connection information*
*Connection time 2 days, 20:35:47*

*Data transmitted/received (MB) 86.76 / 124.20*

*Broadband user name [emailprotected]*

*Password *********



*TCP/IP settings*
*Broadband network IP address 86.169.141.252*

*Default gateway 213.123.108.122*

*Primary DNS 62.6.40.162*

*Secondary DNS 194.74.65.69*
