My school uses DHCP and I can't find any DNS server addy's (I'm trying to set my PS2 up for online use, and the DHCP settings refuse to work for it)...any way to find out what the IP of the DNS server is??

Or, if it's possible, can I find the name of my DHCP server? (not IP, but the host name)

If you are using NT/2K/XP you can just go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" and it should show you the DNS servers given to you by DHCP. If you are using 9x try winipcfg.
