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.

888254 2010-05-25 23:37:00 Just checked one of mine, it gives the ISP DNS server first
Then my router. (Vista the same, also Linux Mint)

Mine (Dynalink RTA1320) uses its own IP (192.168.0.1)
