Yep Tried that. Say for example home network, using opendns to block the kiddies from accessing nasties, so DHCP gives out open DNS addresses.
So for me I want to have static for firewall and nat rules on my laptop, and non open dns servers. If I set this on the adapter, then that is the settings it uses for any wireless network. If I set the adapter to dynamic, and the static as an alternative, then on home network it picks up the DHCP an voila no alternative. I believe this is by design, as the alternative kicks in when there is no DHCP server. On My Iphone. I can set Wireless1 DHCP for IP and manual DNS. Wireless2 DHCP all through. Wireless3 Static. And so on and so forth. Who would have thought that a phone would have better networking support than Windows Graeme On 7 December 2011 20:08, Michael B.
