Set your computers' DNS to the LAN IP address of your router. Problem solved.
Your router is responsible for getting the correct DNS server addresses from Comcast. When it receives DNS requests on its LAN address, it will forward them to the Comcast DNS servers and return the results to your computers. Carl -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Maki Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 1:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: DNS Servers Change for Comcast I have received an e-mail from Comcast indicating that they are changing their DNS servers and I must set up to automatically obtain the DNS server addresses in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box by March 12. I have some of my systems set up with a static IP address and I lose the ability to select Obtain DNS servers address automatically -- the only selection is Use the following DNS server addresses. I have the modem connected to a router. Is there a way to use a static IP address on a computer and still obtain the DNS automatically? Will I have a problem with Comcast's DNS servers on the March 12 cutoff date? I have been using the DNS server addresses from the router for the computers that have static IP addresses. Can I continue to do this? Any and all suggestions and pointers are appreciated. I have just "followed the directions" to get this lan setup and have never had a problem in the past year or so, so I am somewhat at a loss with its "inner workings."
