How can I override the DNS Servers and Domain Name used by my Airport Time Capsule?

The defaults picked up from my ISP's DHCP are to use the ISP's DNS servers and ISP's domain. I do not want this.
With my prior router I set the DNS servers to Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and my domain to either "bannister.us" (which I own) or "bannister.home". I do not want simple names resolving to some ISP default. (Yes, I know exactly what this does.)
In the Apple AIrport Utility (version 6.3.2) the fields for DNS and Domain do not allow editing. (Why??)
Is there some way to override this?

Unfortunately not one that will work with the latest version TC.
The way around it is to use a different router.. It can be a very simple router.. I usually recommend units like the TP-Link WDR3600 as they take good third party firmware like gargoyle, openwrt, dd-wrt.. ie they have real controls and beyond that a proper Linux firmware with command line interface.
You can then change the TC over to static IP. It will not be the router.. but it will effectively become the local dhcp server.
I have adsl so I cannot reproduce your system.. I have a bridged modem.. a router.. AC66U.. and a TC.. but the TC is not in bridge.. it is in static IP mode.
Let me demonstrate.
By setting a range on the main router from 1-199 (leave a space.. ) so set the TC to 192.168.2.201 and then you can set DNS and domain as you like. Set the dhcp range (leave a space) you could use 203-253.. then I use the main router as 254.
It is brilliant.. all computers behind the TC receive the IP from the TC with whatever IP and dns (and domain although I haven't changed it).. Effectively the TC works as its own dhcp device.. but is merely a secondary dhcp server to the main unit.
(This gives me netflix which is why I do it.. from well outside the US).
It may be of use.
Why leave a space.. well it helps it to work.. I have not tested it but another person reported issues and found leaving a space .. ie last ip in the router.. 199, static ip 201.. first dhcp 203 (i used 205 to help me keep count!!). worked.. I have not tried to reproduce the problem.. so I reproduce the solution.. it might be like sheep jumping over the fence.. even if the fence was removed the sheep keep jumping over at the same place. Just say bahhh and do likewise.

  • How can i change the DNS Name of a 10.6 Server

    Hello when i installed the Server i made a mistake and put in a wrong dns name wich is not reachable from the clients. How can i Chane the DNS Name?

    The core command is changeip, and Google will find some details and discussions.
    $ man changeip
    $ changeip {-v} {-d path} directory-node old-ip new-ip {old-hostname new-hostname}
    It's not always successful; the host name tends to get embedded everywhere.
    For the official documentation on this, see the [Advanced Server Management Manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf] for a discussion of what (else) needs to happen when the IP settings change; see the +Understanding Changes to the Server IP Address or Network Identity+ section.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

    That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

    If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

  • I downloaded a movie twice.  How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

    I downloaded a movie twice.  How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

    If you are speaking of an iTunes purchase, you will need to contact iTunes Customer Service and explain the situation. Their written policy is kinda cold, in that they say they don't issue refunds for erroneous purchases, but I have found them to be a bit more understanding and helpful than that.
    Start by calling Apple at 1-800-275-2273 (if in the US) and ask to be connected to iTunes Customer Service.

  • HT5661 i bought a second hand phone and now can not hold of the seller,  how can i get the phone activated in my name now?

    Hi all,  I have bought a second hand iphone 5s and have found it is still activated to the last user... i can't get hold of them anymore,  how can i get the phone activated in my name?

    If iOs 7 is installed on that iPhone, you will not be able to activate it without
    the requested information. It is called Activation Lock and is a security
    feature built into iOS 7. There is no workaround.

    It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!
    It is also unbelivable that it is not possible to get a qualified employee of ADOBE on the phone in Germany.

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

  • How can I get the second group and report totals in Matrix report?

    Hi,
    I have created a matrix report with 2 break Groups.
    Iam getting columns totals for the first group, but not for the second group and the report totals.
    How can I get the second group and report totals for each month?
    Thanks.
    Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    If you want a total at any group-level, go to the particular group in the data model, insert a summary column in the group, and select
    Reset At > appropriate Group Name
    For report level summaries, you must create the summary column outside of all groups.

  • How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations

    Hi everybody,
    How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations. While creating these , system will not ask for Dev class and we cant assign any Transport request number. Then How can we transport these settings?
    Your replies are really apreciable.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vijay.

    Hi,
    please have a look of the OSS note: 182172
    >>
    The partner profiles are stored in the following tables:
    Table EDPP1: General partner profile
    Table EDP12: Partner profile outbound, additional data NAST
    Table EDP13: Partner profile outbound
    Table EDP21: Partner profile inbound
    Table EDIPHONE: Connection to SAP telephony (optional)
    You can use R3TR TABU to manually set the tables into a Customizing request (as of Release 46, into a SYST-type request).
