    1) Open a DOS window (if you use Win XP, click START, RUN, and type CMD. If Vista, click START and type CMD in the "start search" field).

    2) Type IPCONFIG /ALL. This command shows the IP configuration on all your network interfaces (Ethernet card, wireless card, etc). Look up the specific card you're using. It will probably be called LOCAL AREA CONNECTION.

    3) Among other things, it will show a list of IP addresses under the heading of "DNS servers". The first one on the list will be the preferred DNS and the others will be the secondary servers

    Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aOkV9

    Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

    You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

    DNS network is used to translate the userfriendly name on i.e. the addresses of websites to their ip addresses. They mainly work outside our local are network They stand for Domain name system. Actually two DNS systems are used to ensure that if one of your DNS server is down then you can connect to internet using the other DNS server.

    I assume your asking this because your looking at the tcp/ip settings of a connection. I would recommend that you leave that on auto.
