Changing DNS Servers with Router

« on: April 12, 2005, 08:23:00 PM »

As you all know Comcast is having some dns server issues, I changed my dns server to 4.2.2.1 and now everything works great. But I have one question, is there a way to plug to dns server into the router and so all the computers on the lan uses it? Or do I just have to go to each computer and change it through XP in Internet Protocal TCP/IP Properties?

you can do that, go to your router page and change it, i think they call it static dns, good luck

this thing, but if I choose this option, wouldn't I have to make my IP static too? Comcast allows static IP??

You shouldnt have to. I just changed the DNS on my router and it's working fine. As far as I know you don't have to use Comcast's DNS servers.
