1204347	2011-05-23 03:45:00	Am setting up a replacement router (the new Netgear DGND3700) and as only do this about every 45 years am having probs remembering where to find everything! Think have found: IP Address, IP Subnet Address, Gateway Address but can’t track down the Primary and Secondary DNS Address’s. Tried cmd.exe then ipconfig /all but can’t really figure them out. Any suggestions please? Thanks W7	stuffed (1469)

Go to your ISP's site Yea but you don't normally have to enter these in, the router will get them automatically from your ISP. Your PC then has its DNS set to the router IP and any DNS queries are forwarded on to the ISP ones by the router.	CYaBro (73)

1204351	2011-05-23 05:14:00	If you ever get stuck, you can use: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 Easy to remember ;) code.google.com There's also OpenDNS and other free providers, but that's probably just confusing things. The aforementioned will (at the very least) get you up and running.	Chilling_Silence (9)
1204352	2011-05-23 06:12:00	Are you using the ADSL or the Cable option? If its Cable(telstra) you do need to put in the DNS other wise it wont work, If its ADSL, then it should pick it automatically. Who is the ISP ?	wainuitech (129)
1204353	2011-05-23 07:24:00	if in doubt, leave it blank, and it should work for most connections	Agent_24 (57)
1204354	2011-05-23 08:38:00	I use 8.8.8.8 as my secondary DNS - remember a few years ago when BOTH Xtra's DNS servers went down ?	decibel (11645)
