I've got a dial-up ADSL connection that seems to have lost its DNS
servers. In the IP configuration they are set to 'Obtain DNS server
address automatically' but once dialled-up and connected they don't
show up on an IPCONFIG /all anymore, whereas they used to. I've tried
re-creating the connection, resetting the IP winsock and checking with
the ISP that I've got everything right. Still doesn't work.
See example below:
PPP adapter MyISP:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : xx-xx-45-00-00-00
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : xx.189.148.48
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : xx.189.148.48
As you can see: no DNS servers listed. I can still ping hosts out on
the internet, just not by name.
If I manually add an OpenDNS server (208.67.222.222) I can browse and
ping by name.
Any clues?
