Figure This

One strange thing I've noticed when I switch from the RoadRunner cable modem to the Verizon ADSL modem is that even after I reboot, doing an ipconfig /all says the domain is roadrunner and the DNS is road runner. But when I check the gateway/router/firewall, it correctly indicates the Verizon domain and DNS. Everything still works fine, but I wonder if Windows is actually using the RoadRunner DNS? Just to be sure, I manually typed in the DNS IP addresses.

For those poor souls that may need to do this, the procedure is:

  1. On the desktop, right click "My Network Places".

  2. Left click on "Properties".

  3. Right click on "Local Area Connection".

  4. Left click on "Properties".

  5. On the "General" tab, scroll down to the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" component and left click it.

  6. Left click on "Properties"

  7. On the "General" tab, click the radio button for "Use the following DNS server addresses".

  8. Type in the addresses for your preferred and alternate DNS servers.

  9. Click "OK" twice and you should be done.

I have to meet this morning at 7:30 a.m. with one of our interviewees for our capstone project so I gotta go.

Aloha!
