Hi Mickjapa,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am sorry but I am having a problem with
"& dont forget to create a static IP first".
I have telephoned my ISP (Optus) and they refuse point blank to give out a DNS address but I have been to 2 websites where I have got conflicting data! I am attaching 2 screeshots which show the DNS addresses I have found and wonder if you can decypher these for me. The relevant website addresses for these two screenshot are
Welcome to the Optus Service Request Site - DNS and
Ozcableguy in case the screen shots do not show what you need.
Please can you suggest how can determine what to enter in the boxes for the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server in the TCP/IP Properties window.
I am worried about losing my internet connection if I do the wrong thing. I have a recent Norton Ghost image so if I do mess up the internet completely, will a restore using the Ghost files bring back my original TCP/IP settings or are these not recorded in a Ghost image?
Thanks for any further help you can give me,
Best wishes, Roger
