Thank you very much.

Can you please tell why the spoofing is shown for Dialer0.

Dialer0 is up, line protocol is up (spoofing)

hi

AFAIK spoofing does tells that the conection can be established as on when its required.

Its the information being sent to the IOS that the connectivity is operational though physical connectivity might not need to be there(live) at that point of time.

Is it possible to use the DNS address as router address 172.29.162.1 in client pc, with out using DHCP. It is because, if we change the ISP, we need to change all the clinets DNS address also.

Is there any way to setup in router for DNS reolve for clinet connections?

Why don't you use a dummy IP address as the DNS server address in all your client PCs and setup a static outside NAT translation on your router that maps this dummy address to the real DNS server. That way, when you change ISPs, all you change is the NAT statement.

Note that you cannot use a dummy IP that is in the same subnet as your ethernet addresses ... this will not work with NAT since the PCs will try to arp for this address. Pick some other address that is unlikely to overlap with anything else.

Hi All

Thank you very much for the inputs,

In first test, I setup the DNS address in client pc and ping/browsing to outside domain worked.

In second test, I NATed the DNS address with dummay IP in the router and used the dummay ip client pc. ping/browsing wotked fine.
