| 888251 | 2010-05-25 23:16:00 | Hi When you set your computer (XP) to get its IP and DNS settings automatically, when you type in ipconfig /all Does it show the DNS server as your routers IP, or is it the ISP's DNS server? |

| 888252 | 2010-05-25 23:18:00 | I would say your router's IP. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 888253 | 2010-05-25 23:33:00 | It will say whatever the DHCP server supplies. Most SOHO routers have a caching DNS server and will supply their own internal IP. I have seen some that pass the ISP DNS server addresses (or whatever is set in the control panel) for direct use by the clients. |

What he said :D Mine (Dynalink RTA1320) uses its own IP (192.168.0.1) |
