DNS Server IP address

What are the best Prim/Secon DNS Servers to use on your Xbox One, ?..

Open DNS are good
Google are not bad either but why do you want to change it? just for playing games makes no sense

VPN Client is not adding DNS server IP addresses

Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and could use a little help.
I use a CheckPoint VPN-1 to connect to my work network. The problem that I have is that I need to add two name servers to access the various sites and applications at work. I have not been able to find a way to do this within VPN-1. I found a listing in for DNS servers in the user.C file but as soon as I edit it and add them (and the edit back up so that it doesn't just over write my changes) it says the files are corrupt and reloads it from the network. What a pain.
Right now I am manually adding the IP address to my DNS list when I connect, then cursing when I use a browser after dosconneting, then removing them manually. If it were not for the fact that network access is dramatically slower when I'm not using the VPN and have the additional name servers listed, I would just leave them there and be done with it. But network performance seems to suffer dramatically when they are listed and the VPN is not active. As soon as I remove them, performance returns to normal.
What I need is a way to add two DNS Server IP Address when VPN-1 connects to the network and remove them when I shut down the VPN. I personally don't care if it's a separate utility, Automator Script, Apple Script, or even a different VPN client, as long as it will connect to a CheckPoint FW.
I have started looking at other clients. I have looked at PSecuritas, it connected to the FW fine, had a place to add the DNS IPs but did not add them correctly either. I also looked briefly at VPN Tracker, for $120 .... I don't think so ..... it's a hassle, not broken.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is possibly CSCec68049 (see http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCec68049&Submit=Search for details. 3.6 had a few issues with DNS servers not being populated. Try upgrading a few of your PC's to the latest 4.0 client and that should resolve it.

Default DNS server IP addresses

I was having problems tracking down the default IP addresses for the FIOS DNS servers and saw others were having the same problem. Finally got them (at least, the ones for Maryland FIOS) and figured I'd post them in case they were of use to others:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
Hope this can help someone.
Solved!

How can I get my Tiger Sever to look at itself as a DNS Server

I have installed Tiger server remotely and have no GUI.
I want to change the DNS Server ip address with that Server
If I had access to the System Prefs/Network panel I could simply make the change.
Can I do this via a command line in Terminal ??
Thanks

Two options come to mind.
First is networksetup, the command-line interface to network settings:
networksetup -setdnsservers "Built-in Ethernet 1" 127.0.0.1
(you can add additional name servers in order if you want).
The other is to just rewrite /etc/resolv.conf which stores the active name server settings (although this might get rewritten at boot).

What DNS server is that in the window.. 65.254.254.102

So. I have 1 DNS server, 1 DC, 1 GC etc. One.
It essentially is a lightweight network only serving a few PCs. Strangely it is getting these events for a DNS that doesn't exist.

I have looked this up and down all over and can't seem to find a) an answer that work and b) the DNS entry anywhere in the server. So what gives? I read through this conversation and it's almost identical. There is no old domains anywhere and I have run
through all the suggestions. Anyone have some insight?

Hi,
You may try to restart NetLogon service on DC, in order to re-register related DNS record. Open CMD and type each line and end with Enter:
Net stop netlogon
Net start netlogon
Check your DNS server and to see if the record is listed.

Why does DNS server entry in ipconfig break point-to-point ethernet?

My application uses a panel pc as the user interface for a cRIO controlling a medical device. The panle pc and cRIO communicate using shared variables. During development, both devices (panel pc and cRIO) were on our company network. Curiously, when I connected them point-to-point with a crossover cable, they refused to communicate when running their LabVIEW application code. Pings from the panel pc to cRIO were successful. Much troubleshooting ensued.
Long story short, the fix was to simply delete the DNS server IP entry from both the panel pc and the cRIO ipconfig tables (see attached pic for the WinXP version of this table). If either of them had our company's DNS server IP address fillied in, my LabVIEW application would fail.
This leads me to suspect that there is something in my LabVIEW executables that wants to touch the company network. Apparently, if there is a DNS server entry in the ipconfig table, this something thinks it has a chance to "phone home" and it tries to do so. When this happens on the panel pc end of the crossover cable, the machine acts like it's locked up, but the task manager shows the CPU to be ~98% idle.
If there is no entry for a DNS server, I guess this something realizes that there is no way to "phone home", so it doesn't try and my application works great. Since the application works with no DNS server table entry, I think my crossover cable is working correctly.
Does anyone have any idea what this something might be?

You've hit the nail on the head Ben. For point to point communications, the IP addresses should be fixed, therefore there is no need for DNS. If a DNS is configured, the NIC (Network Interface Card) drivers will try to contact it.
In my test system, I need DNS for the test computer, but I am communicating with a dedicated Spectrum Analyzer over TCP/IP. So I added a second NIC. The main NIC is configured for DNS and all that jazz. The second NIC (plugged into PCI slot) is configured with a hard coded address, no DNS, no Gateway, nothing else. I connect that NIC to the spectrum analyzer using a crossover cable. The analyzer is configured with a hard coded address also. Now my computer can get on our company network, and the spectrum analyzer is isolated from the network, so it can't catch any viruses, etc., and it still talks to the computer. When using a configuration such as this, it is best to use a dedicated address for the 2nd NIC and spectrum analyzer in the range of 192.168.100.0 to 254

Modem AEBS Laptop. Which of those should have DNS server details set?

Hi,
I have a modem which is connected to an AEBS. And the AEBS connects via air to my laptop. Which of these three things should have the DNS server IP addresses, supplied by my ISP, set in them, and which shouldn't?
The modem has a web page based set up, which has a DNS set up available. It seems to have a mind of its own and ignore my settings -- resets to what it was before (which isn't the case of other settings for the modem)
The base station in its set up has DNS server IP address fields, which was already filled in (automatically possibly -- I can't remember) with my ISP's DNS addresses.
And there's the places for DNS addresses in the Network in System Preferences. This was empty but I've now put in my ISPs settings there. Either way, with or without, doesn't seem to make any difference.
Can anyone tell me where there is info online about where to put DNS info correctly for a modem > AEBS > computer set up please? Or maybe someone knows?
TIA,
John.

I never set the DNS servers on any client computer, Mac or Windoze. Note that in the DNS Servers: section of the Network Preferences it says (Optional). I suggest you leave that space blank.
Similarly, if you are using your AEBS as your gateway router and your Internet connection to your is configured Using DHCP there is no need (and no benefit) to predefining the DNS servers.
If you have a situation where you must pre-set the DNS servers IP addresses, then I would do it only in the AEBS.
BTW, I assume this is in conjunction with your other thread about the AEBS crapping out every few hours while downloading files. Remember that DNS is used only to resolve names to IP addresses as in each time you call up a different URL. DNS doesn't enter the picture in the middle of any other kind of transaction. I suspect that DNS is not your problem in this case.

Incorrect DNS when using DHCP. DNS server is considered to be a Virus??

Running 10.5.5. Noticed extreme slow down in resolving domains in safari, firefox. I currently use Verizon FIOS. When looking in network settings it shows a DNS server as 85.255.115.30. This is not verizon's DNS server. When I delete that server out and add the Open DNS server's address internet works great. This is not an issue on Verizon's end because any ethernet connection to any internet provider will default to using that address for DNS. Only does it over ethernet. Tried deleting the port and re adding and still comes back. No issues when booted off another drive. Mcafee says that a Trojan changes the DNS on PC's. No PC's are networked to this mac. I cannot delete this DNS server under the DNS tab in advanced settings...?

That IP address does seem to fall within the range known to have been used by the DNS changer trojan (try searching the web for "DNS changer", puper, OSX.RSPlug.A, 1023.dmg, etc.). That very likely means that at some point, malware managed to run with "root" privileges on your system.
Under such circumstances, it would be safest to back up all of your data and reinstall the OS and applications from known "good" media.

Server 2008 DHCP is handing out the wrong DNS server.

We have two new 2008 DC that handles, DNS, DHCP and WINS. Our DHCP scopes have been migrated to these servers. We are seeing some random issues where clients are using the new dhcp server but the old dns server information is listed for the some systems. We discover this by using network monitor on the old DC, DNS, DHCP server. Once the client performs a ipconfig /renew, the problem is corrected. Any ideas?

Hi BrianAuH20,
Thank you for posting here.
Based on your description, I understand that your Windows 2008 DHCP server hands out the wrong DNS server address.
To troubleshoot this issue, please perform the follow steps to see whether the clients retrieve the right DNS server address.
1.     Temporarily make the old DC, DNS, DHCP server offline.
2.     Check the new 2008 DHCP server setting.
                      i.        In the DHCP console tree, under Scope [172.16.0.0] SS Scope, right-click Scope Options, and then click Configure Options.
                     ii.        On the Advanced tab, verify that Default User Class is selected next to User class.
                    iii.        Select the 006 DNS Servers check box, in IP Address, under Data entry, type DNS Server IP address, and then click Add.
                    iv.        Select the 015 DNS Domain Name check box, in String value, under Data entry, type your domain's FQDN name, and then click OK.
3.     Restart the DHCP service.

Hope this helps.

Dns-server / dhcp cisco 1700

Hi,
I wonder if i may run a few questions past you guys. We have a Cisco 1700 at one of our sites which is supposed to be managed but due to problems with the third party company i had to go there to perform some work.
I wanted to add in a dns server ip. Because i don't have the enable secret (Third PTY won't tell us) i used the break command normally used for password recovery. then once in used "copy start run".
Q. can i make config changes this way, save the changes then switch the config-register back and reload?
I managed to make the changes - Dhcp pool - dns-server ip's, right? changed the config-reg back and reloaded. No connectivity. anyway i messed around with different ip's eventually put it back to to original powered of for 5 mins and on again and it was ok.
Q: have i missed something out?
Q: could reloading or powering off and on to quickly affect thigs?
Q: Could the router be downloading it's config or something additional from a TFTP server? Is there anything i can check to confirm this on the config?
This is the dns part of the config all i want to do is change 1.0.84.187 for 84.33, should be simple?
ip dhcp pool 0
network 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0
default-router 172.16.0.15
dns-server 1.0.84.8 1.0.84.187 158.152.1.43 158.152.1.58
domain-name parkside.net
lease infinite
Q: Is this part saying that 1.0.84.187 and 158.152.1.43 are not being used for dns?
no ip domain lookup
ip name-server 1.0.84.187
ip name-server 158.152.1.43
ip cef
no scripting tcl init
no scripting tcl encdir
Sorry i know thats long winded. Any help on any part of my problem would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
J mac

Hello,
check for any lines starting with ´boot´ in the upper part of the configuration, it is very well possible that the router is configured to boot a specific file, or from a TFTP server.
Regarding the change of the DNS server IP address, in DHCP pool configuration mode, first delete the existing line:
no dns-server 1.0.84.8 1.0.84.187 158.152.1.43 158.152.1.58
and reenter it:
dns-server 1.0.84.8 1.0.84.33 158.152.1.43 158.152.1.58
The DNS servers specified with the ´ip name-server´ command are used for non-DHCP clients.

Externally Hosted DNS - How do I set up my 2003 DNS server for sub domain to point to internal IP address??

I have a domain name(domain.com) DNS hosted at my ISP. I also have 3 sub domains DNS hosted at the same ISP pointing to various external ip addresses (mail.domain.com, vpn.domain.com and ts.domain.com). We want to set up sales.domain.com to point to an
internal 10. IP address. We have AD integrated DNS servers for our 2003 AD domain. The AD domain name is totally different than the hosted domain name in question. I currently edit the host file for a couple of PC's but this isnt practical company wide so
I want to add entries on our internal AD DNS servers to resolve the locally hosted site. If i recall, someone once told me that you cannot just put an A record for one sub domain, I would have to have entries on my 2003 DNS server to resolve anything related
to the domain.com name. Is this accurate? If so, what is the proper way to configure my 2003 AD DNS server to resolve anything domain.com related for my internal users while still allowing my ISP to do the DNS lookup for the internet.

On my 2003 AD integrated DNS server...i rightclick forward lookup zone and choose...new zone..primary zone (store zone in AD checkbox checked)..i chose to all DNS servers in the AD domain for replication...zone name sales.domain.com....allow secure updates
option....then i added an A record in that zone...sales.domain.com..pointed that towards my internal 10. IP address...is this correct? It seems to be working correctly for the sales.domain.com DNS record...and i tested the other sub domains...and those look
like they are going to my ISP for DNS resolution...
Is this the correct procedure? I did this on a test AD domain and not my production...i want to make sure i dont break everything under the domain.com by incorrectly adding 1 sub domain..

How do I have a cRIO register its IP address with the DNS server, clearing any previous entries?

I've run into a problem when I try to move a cRIO-9073 from one network segment to another (say 10.1.33.x to 10.1.36.x): The old IP address remains registered on our DNS server, so trying to access the cRIO by its DNS name fails as the DNS server tells my PC to look for the old IP address.
When I search the DNS server from my PC using "NSLOOKUP" with the old IP address, it finds the DNS name of the device. If I repeat the search with the new IP address (MAX finds the device with its new address, but I hate to have users use MAX to find it), it again returns the DNS name, so it appears the DNS name is registered under two IP addresses on our DNS server. I've also repeatedly tried to flush my PC's DNS cache using command "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS", but it still tries the old IP address. I also see in MAX that the cRIO is using the same DNS server my PC uses.
Our IT people say that I have to tell the device to re-register its DNS name. They told me a command to do it from Windows (command "ipconfig /registerdns"), but obviously this is VxWorks on the cRIO. Is there a command to do this on the cRIO or a setting in the "NI-RT.INI" file I can change? I honestly don't think this is the issue (as it successfully registered the new IP address under its name), but I want to try it if it's possible.
Thanks!
Erik
ps - Our IT dept. won't let me use static IPs unless I get them assigned by both their MAC address AND the network jack they're connected to, so that's out.

Normally this is actually a function of your DNS server. It needs to perform a periodic flush of stale records. You can check the RFC for the DNS protocol and build the necessary packet yourself.

Airport Extreme invalid IP address, no DNS server

Hardware: Motorola SURFboard SB6141, Airport Extreme A1408
I recently set up a new internet service with Cox, plugged in the SB6141 and A1408 and everything set up perfectly, solid green light and wireless was flawless. However, electricity to my house had to be reset, and when the power came back on the green light on the Airport Extreme started to flashing amber. I did several hard/factory resets of the Airport Extreme as well as unplugging the modem and leaving everything unplugged for several minutes and then plugging everything back in. No matter what combination of things I try to do, the Airport Utility always tells me the same 2 errors: invalid IP address and no DNS server. Why was the Airport Extreme able to automatically set up the first time, but not now? Any ideas of what I can do? Thanks!

I have also looked through other threads about this same problem, but none of the solutions (e.g. posts by Tesserax, followed to the letter) so far have worked.
Here are other things I have tried:
1. Called Cox to have them reset my modem, internet works through Ethernet directly from the modem
2. Downgraded AEBS firmware to 7.6.1 (oddly enough, now I cannot for the life of me update the firmware back to 7.6.4, always says cannot connect to update server)
I ran through the various solutions from this thread: "No DNS servers" and "Internet connection" problems with Comcast?
Still getting that pesky blinking amber light.

"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated

New to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

Can't delete grayed-out DNS server addresses

I want to replace two grayed-out DNS server addresses from the Network panel (under the DNS tab in "Advanced…"), to replace them with OpenDNS settings. But they can't be selected/deleted. How do I get around this problem?

That is correct - those are provided by your router and can not be deleted - you can add Open DNS servers (click the + sign) or log into the router admin page (I recommend this way) and have your router use the Open DNS servers fro everything on your network (this will change the grayed out ones)
