Hi Wayne, No, I was not talking about changing the router's DNS. I was talking about the DNS server field on the manual configuration of one of the computers on the net. Up to now, when manually configuring it, we used these settings:
IP address - 192.168.0.100 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway - 192.168.0.1 Primary DNS Server - Blank Secondary DNS Server - Blank Having found that the router listed a DNS Server address as something similar to 24.205.192.75, I thought to put that into the Computer's blank. Sandi says she uses 192.168.0.1. I will try both in about an hour when I go to my friend's house and have access to his computer.

I surely would NOT change that. >Instead you would use 192.168.0.1? and it works that way? That should be the default address of your router & I would NOT change that as well. I believe what Sandi is saying is that she doesn't put in the Secondary DNS &/or the Subnet of 255.255.255.1 but everything else you have to have. Depending on whether you're using the router as a DNS Server you may have to assign manual ip addresses to the machines on your LAN but that you can have the router DNS Server function set to automatic but assign addresses to those units on the LAN that you don't want their address to change. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
