Hi all. I am new here and I find this site to be very usefull. I hope someone might be able to answer my question. Ok I have a DCHP server and I have the DNS is set for:
168.221.21.200
168.221.21.150

Now my computer won't log on to the domain because Win 2000 is reading it as
168.221.21.150
168.221.21.200

I did a release and renew and still it won't change. Can someone please help me with this problem. What do I have to do for my computer nic card to change those DNS settings to read my sever setting? Thanx in advance.
 
Welcome to TechSpot

I have shown this several times to people already, but here goes again:

A few basic setups when networking:

Router-setup WAN:
Protocol: Fixed IP
IP-address, Subnetmask and default Gateway: as per ISP-information
DNS-servers: as per ISP-information
Enable NAT

Router-setup LAN:
IP-address: set to e.g. 192.168.1.254 (or use default)
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP-server: disable

Router: Some System-settings (depending on your router)
Optional SNTP (time): e.g. 194.35.252.7 for UK/Ireland (GMT)
uPnP: disable
Dynamic routing: disable
Remote config: disable
Dynamic DNS: disable
Firewall: Block hacker attack: enable
Firewall: Block WAN request: enable
VPN: disable all settings unless you need it

PC-Settings
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Use the following IP address: 192.168.1.101 (102, 103 etc.)
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 (IP-address from your Router)
Use DNS Server address: 192.168.1.254 (IP-address from your Router)
Second DNS: leave blank or put in first DNS-server from WAN-part in Router

Enable File/Printer sharing if you wish (works only within local network)
Check individual printer(s) that they are shared as well (in printer-settings)

And make sure all your PCs are in the same WORKGROUP.

If software firewall installed, enable the other PCs IP-address(es)

----------

Use fixed IP rather than DHCP (which is Obtain IP automatically).
In your case it should make no difference if one DNS-server is mentioned before the other or vice-versa.
