Booth may work fine "192.168.1.1" IS your router, it is able to forward DNS request further . There are probably some advantage of setting your ISP's (or others ) DNS servers directly (you can use more than one ) but I never had problems with the 192.168.1.1 aproach in my home lan. The advantage of using the router as DNS in all devices is that you only have to change DNS in one place the router if want to change it . I use static-ip for most of my stuff with routers ip for DNS ,however my outside WAN-IP is DHCP from my ISP and they can change DNS sometimes (very rare but it happens ) and that won't affect my statically set devices . ( Btw if one uses DHCP in the lan the router is suposed to forward DNS to the clients ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95062 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
