1) Richt click My Network places, properties.
2) Right click Local Area Connection, properties.
3) Highlight TCP/IP, click properties.

Modify as necessary.

That is, of course, presuming you want to modify what DNS address you are using.

You mean... you want to change DNS settings, but you don't know what you want to change it to?

Why are you changing it? What's wrong with using your ISP's DNS???

That's what I was wondering.

Spooner, generally you don't change your DNS servers unless you know what they are already. Right now it should be set to automatic.

refer to this thread

short story:

GF's lappy ethernet not workin (can't get on the internet)
When I run IPCONFIG it gives me and IP address
All lights on card say it has activity
Device Manager has no complaints

I'm stumped, so I'm thinking maybe its her DNS server (shot in the dark though)
