How do I get a DNS server address?

How do I find my DNS Server address? I intalled my Airport to my new PC and it has a yellow light and while other wireless computers can see the network they cannot to the internet.

You cannot get a .mac address any longer - it is all now based on mobileme so xxx.me.com is the email addy domain.
To get one, you need to subscribe to the mobileme service - http://www.apple.com/mobileme/

XP Machine gets bad DNS Server address

I was having issues with my Mini MAC dropping the wireless connection with my old Linksys Wireless G router so I went out and bought a new Airport Extreme, it was time for an upgrade to N and GigE anyway. Now I can't get my old Dell Box running WinXP to access the internet. I can surf my own network just fine. Below is a similar set of data when running ipconfig /all. Note this is not my box but it has the same DNS and DHCP server settings. I compared mine value for all fields when connected to my Linksys and AE. The only difference was the DHCP and DNS server settings. I haven't tried another Wired computer yet but every Wireless device connects to the internet just fine (Mini MAC, Wii). I've done all the power cycling suggestions but to no avail. Any Ideas? I am hoping to test another wired device to see to hopefully isolate it to WinXP/My NIC and not a wireless vs wired thing. The WinXP box uses a 100Mb speed. I do have a NAS (ReadyNAS NV+) running on the network but it doesn't/isn't connect to the internet and it is running just fine. Same is true for my network attached printer (Brother). Again any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Ok, these seem appropriate for what I would expect coming from the AirPort's DHCP server, although x.x.1.70 seems a bit odd but within the default range.
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2
This may be the problem. With the IP address assigned to your computer of 10.0.1.70, I would expect that you would get a Default Gateway address of 10.0.1.1. The one you got here is on a totally different private IP range. That would mean your computer will not be able to access the AirPort.
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.1
This is correct and what I would expect.
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
These are also correct since you are substituting the OpenDNS servers for your ISP's.
We would need to figure out why your PC is getting assigned a Default Gateway address from the wrong subnet.

How to prevent changing DNS server address

I work for a public school district. We just purchased our first batch of Win 8.1 PCs, but they are not the Pro version, so there is no gpedit. I want to prevent students from accessing the TCP/IPv4 Properties dialog box in order to ensure that the
DNS server address is always obtained automatically. Can anyone tell me how to do this using regedit, or any other way? Thanks!

Easiest way is to assign these students a standard user account (without admin rights).. They cant change any system setting then.. Other than restricting privileges I don't think you have option here since you don't have group policy editor ..
There could be a possibility to do this using regedit But it is not recommended since there are no any official article for this other than below untested third party article form ehow
http://www.ehow.com/how_8110801_disable-tcpip-properties-regedit.html
Besides it could be tedious.. enabling and disabling it..

How do I get the hostname(or address) of the server?

How do I get the hostname(or address) of the server inside code
running on the server? I can use
Admin.getServer().getListenPort() to get the port number; but
calling Admin.getServer().getListenAddress() returns null.
Thanks
Rajesh

Rajesh,
Try this:
import java.net.InetAddress;
Address.getHostName(); // This returns a string with hostname

Where do I get DNS server addresses?

We just upgraded a new 100 mbyte broadband modem and the AirPort Express doesn't seem to be recognizing it. The light just keeps flashing orange
The setup assistant says I don't have any DNS server addresses . Where do I get these?

Did you reset the Express to factory settings and then run the assistant? - it should pick up the settings from the modem automatically - also is the modem just a modem or a wireless router also?

"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)

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
This article discusses the issue in more detail:

How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up in Contacts?

I synch my iPhone contacts from my work Exchange Server. Ever since I upgraded to IOS7, I cannot see any "home" addresses for my contacts. All I can see is "work" addresses for each contact. All phone numbers and e-mails are fine. It's only caused the "home address" field to disappear on my phone. How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up?

I had a similar issue with my Outlook contacts' home addresses missing on my iPhone after having upgraded to iOS 7. There is a workaround - for each problematic contact on your iPhone, add a dummy address by editing the contact. The home address will now appear. If you have many contacts at once, try the workaround by using this method of batch-editing iPhone contacts.

How do I get Apache web server working ...

How do I get Apache web server working on my MacBook Pro, which is running Leopard 10.5.8?
When I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' (without the quote marks) as a URL in my Firefox browser on the MacBook, I do not see any result at all(!). I do have Web Sharing on in System Preferences on that machine. But the browser does nothing whatever for that URL ...
On my other computer, an iMac running Leopard 10.5.8, when I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' I see the default "Your Website Here" page. That same default page is in fact the index.html file I expect to see on the MacBook Pro. But it isn't getting invoked for some reason. Nothing is happening ...
When on the iMac I try 'http://10.0.1.18/~username/' (10.0.1.18 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I get "Unable to connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.18."
When on the MacBook I try 'http://10.0.1.5/~username/' (10.0.1.5 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I see the default "Your Website Here" page.
It is the same on my iPhone: Using the same local IP addresses and usernames, Safari can see the index.html page on my iMac but not on my MacBook.
It looks as if Apache is not working on the MacBook, while on the iMac it works fine.
On the MacBook I can see (after I use 'defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' in Terminal) a /private/etc/apache2/ directory with what look to be(?) the usual contents. So it looks like Apache is duly installed, as far as I can tell.
On the MacBook I don't see a file at /private/var/log/apache2/error_log, which is the location for 'ErrorLog' given in the httpd.conf file.
That about exhausts my understanding of how to get a handle on my problem.
Any advice or suggestions from those who have more expertise with Apache will be much appreciated ...

Okai, so we are getting somewhere, but not quit there yet :-)
I opened the Kenneth.conf file using the command: vi Kenneth.conf
This is what it said:
<Directory "/Users/Kenneth/Sites/">
Options Indexes Multiviews
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
"Kenneth.conf" [readonly] 6L, 139C
I therefore changed the AllowOverride from AuthConfig Limit to None, which was the only difference from what you posted above. Something did change, when I tried to open XAMPP it prompted me a password, but Apache still wont start :-/

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
Is there a possibility?
Thanks and happy eastern

The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.

WRT54GS question.....DNS Server address?????

Someone please help,
          I had a problem with my wireless not working on my 2nd PC. I originally thought that it was because of that PC being old and possibly having some trojan horses or other virus's that i could not get off. I have since threw out that PC and bought a new notebook yesterday at BestBuy. I told the man from geeksquad that i was having a problem with my wireless at home. He said that if the notebook could not connect to the wireless to push the red reset button on the back of the router and start over with redownloading it on my PC.
        I have done that, but am stuck on step 8 of the wizard. I have the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. It is now asking for DNS 1(DNS Server address). What is DNS & where would i find this? I've had this router for about 2 years, will there be any other important information that i may need when trying to connect my notebook through this router?
           Thanks for your advise.

I did find the DNS address's, but once i tried to finish the setup of the router it said, Unable to configure router, reset the router to factory default settings. Well in short, after some searching, i wired the PC directly to the modem. It would not connect to the internet. Did I do something or delete something I shouldn't have? Looks like it. UGH!! My notebook is working just fine connected directly to the modem, but I'm getting nothing with the PC connected to the modem or the router.
ANYONE HELP???????

Manually provided DNS server addresses are higher priority than DHCP's

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
With the recent revelation of DNS server security issues, many have expressed a desire to use DNS servers they know to be secure rather than the servers specified by their routers via DHCP, which often are those of a particular ISP.
When you manually enter a DNS server address in Mac OS X Leopard's Network preference pane, the manually entered address(es) appear below any DHCP-provided addresses (which are shown in grey as they are unchangeable), leading one to assume that DHCP-provided addresses always have priority over any a user may specify.
However, a check of the /etc/resolv.conf file generated by Mac OS X shows that in fact user-provided DNS addresses will supercede any provided by DHCP.
As an example, if your router promotes itself as a DHCP server, its IP address, say "192.168.0.253," will appear, greyed out, in the Network->Advanced->DNS preferences pane.
If you then add, say, OpenDNS' addresses of "208.67.222.222" and "208.67.220.220," the preferences window will show:
192.168.0.253 (greyed out)
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
But the generated /etc/resolv.conf will show the order Mac OS X will actually reference the servers is:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 192.168.0.253
While this is non-intuitive, given how the addresses are displayed in the preference pane, it is exactly the way a user would hope things would work - allowing one to specify DNS servers to be used in lieu of any a router provides, especially handy if the router propagates the address of a DNS server that is having issues, that is untrusted or is simply overloaded or offline.

That's very good to KNOW.
I figured it as such as I have some manual entries for the office and I don't use profiles, so it stays there when I go home.
I notice a slow-down when office DNS entries are used at home -as one would suspect.
I do like KNOWING that it's the case though - thanks for the info!

Detect "Obtain DNS server address automatically" set

Can anyone help me with a minor issue?
I am trying to detect if this setting is set to manual or automatic
I am currently using this code
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter "IPEnabled=TRUE" | Select PSComputerName,DNSServerSearchOrder
The problem is it returns the servers and not the actual setting of automatic vs manual.
Powershell v2

Hi JustuslV,
Optionally, you can retrieve or set a value corresponding to "Obtain DNS server address automatically" by using the two registry entries, DhcpNameServer and NameServer, which you can find at the following registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
\{AdapterIdentifier}
If the value of NameServer is null, the client tries to obtain a DNS server address automatically from the DHCP server.
Refer to:
Part 5: Scripting DNS on Clients
And you can refer to this script to get the related registry value:
$adapter=Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter "IPEnabled=TRUE" | select -ExpandProperty SettingID
$path='HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces'
Get-ItemProperty -Path "$path\$adapter" -Name Nameserver|select -ExpandProperty NameServer
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

Two vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server addresses

Has anyone or does anyone know how to put two vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server addresses on a PIX 515E? I am trying to set up a second DNS Server and without the command in the PIX my VPN clients cannot authenticate through the PIX on the second DNS Server. I have tried several times to put the command in but it keeps removing the existing one and replacing it with the one I try to put in. Any help would be appreciated.
Randy L Brown

You can configure both DNS server on the same command as follows:
vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server
Hope this helps.
