My Linksys router is set up with DHCP for the WAN, my LAN uses static IP addresses. Is there a way to have the PCs of the LAN to automatically reflect the varying DNS addresses of the WAN ? It seems that @Home is changing the DNS addresses very frequently. Somehow my net connection still working OK even if the defined DNS of the LAN's PCs are not the same as the WAN's DNS.

Actually, you can enter anybody's DNS servers into your settings. You don't need to use the DNS servers that your ISP gave you although you probably should since they're close to you.

The reason the network still works is because of what I just said, you can put in different DNS name servers and still work.

And no, I don't think there is a way to automatically "sync" your lan computers with the router for the DNS ip numbers.
