DNS on the new ISR

mbluemel · ‎09-17-2005

I am installing an 857 at home. I have a problem in that BT dont give DNS addresses and the router set-up seems to require one . Any thoughts please? Can you set them up to pick up DNS dynamically.

Hi Mbluemel,

If it is just a matter of router setup requirement you can try 4.1.1.1 or 4.2.2.2 which is a global DNS server address.

Try that and update if it works.

Thanks very much Ankur. I got it working using a couple of dns addresses I knew. I will use these now though. Just wondered if you could get the dns from the ISP. Still it doesnt really matter I suppose. Its just that I have a zoom adsl router and that gets the dns dynamically. Thought the Cisco one would be at least as clever.
