Q. How do I find out my DNS Server Addresses under Linux / UNIX / Windows operating system? What is my dns server under Windows? Can you specific public dns server for personal use?
A. DNS is key to many network services. Internet browsing, mail server, web server etc all depends upon DNS server. Most ISP (internet service provider) have their own caching dns server to reduce network load. But how do you find out DNS server IP address? How can I find out current DNS server IP address? Under Linux, FreeBSD and all UNIX like oses you have file called /etc/resolv.conf file. It is often know as resolver configuration file. If you are using Windows Vista / NT / 2000 / XP /98 etc then see below for how to find out DNS server address under MS-Windows operating systems.
Linux / UNIX Find Out Dns Server Addresses
The resolver is a set of routines in the C library that provide access to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). The resolver configuration file contains information that is read by the resolver routines the first time they are invoked by a process.
Commend to find out your dns servers ip address under Linux/BSD/Unixish system
To see your DNS server address type following command as shell prompt:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
OR
$ less /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 203.54.1.20 nameserver 203.54.1.21
Where,
- nameserver 203.54.1.20 : It is Name server IP address (in dot notation) of a name server that the resolver should query. All your application will use this IP address for DNS purpose.
Find out dns server ip address under Windows Vista/ XP/NT/2003
Click on Start button > Run > and Type command cmd > Press [enter] key
At DOS prompt type the command:
C:\>ipconfig /all
You should DNS server IP address, and other information related to Windows networking:

Hi im am trying to connect my ps3 to the internet and its asking for my IP address, subnet mask, default router, primary dns ans secondary dns an i dont know were to find them im on a wired dsl connectin virgin if that helps
hey guys if you want to find out what your dns server is then go to start and search cmd and then go to the command screen and type nslookup and hit enter and that should show you your dns server address
Hi, I am currently trying to connect my Playstation 3 to the internet but it isn’t working, when i try to test for an internet connection it tells me i have a ‘DNS error’ i have followed your instructions above to find my primary and secondary DNS numbers for the connection i am using but both boxes are blank.
It gives me my IP address and my subnet mask but not my preferred DNS sever or Alternate. Please could you tell me how in ‘Laymens’ terms as i don’t know anything about computers and i only found out 45 minutes ago what the hell DNS stood for.
Thankyou for any help.
Richard,
You can setup primary and secondary DNS numbers (IPs) as follows
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

heyy…wow, my god am i EVER having one hell of a time trying to hook $#@*en xbox live, jesus this is hillariouse, i have the stupid cord hooked up to the stupid modem and the stupid xbox, but when i go to “Join Xbox Live” it says “No Network Connection”, and when i go to “Test Connection”…everything connects until it gets to DNS server….it says something about failing, im soo confused, what in the blue hell is DNS..and why is my xbox not connecting to it….HEEEELLLLPPPP!!
lol i kno i have the same problem i still odnt know how to find the primary and secondary ones
i tried everything but i only get 1 set which doesnt work!
i have no idea how to find both and i dont know why the 1 wont work!
i need help too…
when ever i connect my xbox 360 to the modem everything passes but the dns so i go to run and put in cmd and gives me some dns servers and i try them all for primary and secondary but they wont work. can someone tell me how to find the primary and secondary dns on my computer????????
when i try to connect my xbox 360 to my modem and run the test its stoped by the dns bit i can find 3 sequences i tried them all in different combonations nothing seems to work i duno which is primary and secondary help me please !!!!
i followed your steps to find prefered dns number but when i clicked on properties it didnt show which one was prefered.it had been automatically set.
this didn’t help me at all i need to find out my primary and secondary dns servers to be able to log on to xbox live with my xbox 360 elite so if you figure out how to do that then you let me know\
Yea same here for the xbox live. i need to figure out the dns server code to play some halo 3 so hit me up if u know how to get it and that would be awesome
It wont let me join to xbox live because that stupid dns things the others are connecting can somebody please helo me before i throw it out of the window!!!!
Not sure why you guys are having such a hard time finding your primary/secondary dns, the commands have been giving above very clearly.
At the C:> you type:
C:\Documents and Settings\userx>ipconfig /all
it will then give you a listing of your computers IP address information including your default DNS info. If you have a router like a linksys or other it may give you the same IP as your default gateway. Simply input that into your Xbox or Ps3 for both lines if they require both.
example of the >ipconfig /all command output
IP Address. . . . . . . . : 10.142.254.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . : 10.142.254.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . : 10.142.0.10
10.142.0.11
In windows ipconfig /all will show dns server and dhcp server also. But, how to know DHCP server address in Linux?
I have the prob with my psp, and i put on my DNS and it still doesn’t work
I dont get it. My router was working fine a couple of days ago. I plug in all the ethernet cables that I needed correctly. All of the lights on my linksys router are all lighted up. When I test the connection on my xbox, it passes the ip address but it fails on the dns. Also I dont even have internet connection for my computer. Every setting is pretty much automatic due to I dont really know what to put it manually.
i hook up my laptop tht has wireless internet capabilities with my 360 and when i try to sign up for to the DNS test it fails. i have tried eveXBOX LIVE the wired network and ip address pass but when it gets down to the DNS test, it FAILS!!!,i have tried everything i even did something to my computer to allow the dns to be accessed by all internet users which would include the 360. I dont even know how to find the DNS address on my computer ive looked everywhere i could think of. CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS PLSSSS, ID REALLY APPRECIATE IT.thanks
o and if im having this problem with the wired networking then if i bought the $100 microsoft network adapter, would i just be running into the same problems and have just wasted my money(even though the thing is a rip off anyways!!!). Does the wireless networking adapter even need any setup or is it just plug in and play???
i finally found the dns server screen but the only thing tht it shows is teh ip address the dns adress looks like this “DNS: . . . .”……… does anyone know how to get my dns adress to show up??
uhh im trying to connect my wireless to my ps3 and i put in all my info that i got from the command promt and my ip address is succeeded but then the internet connection fails and says i have an error that occured during communication with the server. This is a DNS error.

A lot of post for such problem
Solution :
1. Find telephone number to your internet service provider and teach support, write it down on paper
2. Call to providers teach support, DNS adresses is the information that they shuld provide you on your request
3. Write it down on the same piece of paper
I can get evrything til Dns on my Xbox i need some help
ok i hav the same prob for ps3 this is exactly wat i done and i no loads of peeps have this prob.
1st. wireless
2nd. easy or custom (dunno)
3rd. wep key entered
4th. ip manual along with subnet and dns stuff
and default router and stuff.
5th. mtu auto (should i change)
6th. proxy server do not use (change?)
7th. upnp enable (dont change)
8th. settings list blah blah blah.
9th. results were ip adress succeded voila.
internet conection checking………longer then a last time gets ready to jump for joy………….uh…..(30 seconds later) fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! internet connection fail and thats that i need dns because it says dns error and im from ireland thanks.
the things that are definetly right are the wep key ip adress and the ssid. i not sure about the gateway or default router though. the dns now im definetly not sure… sorry for the laughin bits above im a junoir comedian and singer just tryn.
I have found my dns numbers yet I still get an error saying that there was no response from my dns server what do I do now???? email me the answer to mawabernal@yahoo.com please
OK I am trying to set up a static IP address on one of my home PCs so that I can configure port forwarding on my router. To do that I need to know which DNS my IP provider uses. IP Config just gives me the internal router IP address fro DNS (192.168.1.1) and if I use that as my DNS address it does not work. I didn’t expect it to but I tried it anyway.
So I went to plan B and phoned my IP provider. They had absolutely no idea what I was talking about and advised my to speak to Netgear since they made my router! Seriously, somebody at Roadrunner knows the answer but I have no idea how to get through to them.
Any advice? Like ISP above I’m amazed that a simple task can be so difficult!
Tim, use following two DNS server IP - they are free and very fast
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
You need to open your router configuration page and add those IPs under DNS configuration

i have a wireless modem and it wont let me connect to the madden online how do i do it does anyone know call me at 861-461-6676
to find your dns server you can log into your router. go to http://www.routerlogin.net
it will ask for username and password. The default is–
username - admin
password - password
If that doesn’t work you can always call your isp and ask what your dns server is. it’s a question they answer all the time. hope this helps!
when i type in command cmd the black box comes up with C> instead of C:\ so when i type in the rest it wont work!!! what shall i do because when i do the other idea it dosent show me my IP address.

What it says, I have NOOOO clue what any of it really means but hey… I need it fixed Asap, only On here thanks to a Friend… But Please Help out, Much appreciation. BTW the DNS is originally. 192.168.2.1 FYI…
For those with an ActionTec router the address to get to that router is actually 192.168.1.1, which differs from the Linksys ones at 192.168.0.1; same logon credentials.
ok right now i am struggling to hook my internet upto myy ps3 when but when i test the connection it read my IP address and then is says failed this is and DNS error (80710102) and its really pissing me of can any 1 help? ( bu the way i use wried connection) =D
I’m bummed so I thought maybe if I can help someone out I’ll feel a bit better, I have a PS3 connected through a router ( it really doesnot matter which company is your ISP - AT&T - Verizon - or if you have FIOS or DSL, if you have dial-up it would be so slow it is not worth the effort. Anyway, I need a little info to help you out…
1) How are you connected to the Internet ?
2) The paragraph below can be disregarded if you are using a router and you can turn on your PS3 and go to the Network settings screen on the PS3.
From there if you can set DHCP, you will not need to manually set an internal IP address or even know what your DNS address is. That is the purpose of DHCP it finds all of that for you and automatically gives you an unused IP address in the 192.168.x.x octet. You will alos want to use UPnP (aka Plug and Pray-by some) it’s really not that bad. With those 2 set ON, you should be able to make a connection. If you need more help lemme know. rey MCSE
(I just named the 3 of the primary methods). If you have an actiontec router the advice from Gregg regarding using 192.168.1.1 is absolutely correct. Other routers, Netgear, Linksys … use 192.1678.0.1. Once you enter that into your PC browser (IE or firefox or…) you should get a login screen, your manual will give you the ID and PW to logon. Once you have that done you are about 1/3 done.
when i type ipconfig it says that ipconfig is not recognize as an internal or external or external command
it is cool and helping stuff

In my place,when we are to purchase our computer all is window ready, we just specify what we want and being custumized according to our needs. My first window for i dont know what happened has been off all been remain was a rebbot in the screen, so I had to return my drum to the shop where I purchaced. All my work on Acad and documentation has been deleted. When My computer arrived, I had to upgrade my window to IE8 as latest as possible. Now In this Island of Mindanao God forbidden country I’m Lan Connected. When Im downloading IE8 my server slowed I thought when I click the download was not registered so I click again and my server gone. I go back to microsoft and click again. What appeared that MY DNS was blocked due to internet abused! Jeus Christ! how well I know ! I actually didnot able to download IE8 since all i recieved was a warning of a malicious content from My security tool on my window. What I did I just write my friend and ask for IE8 adds on.
Their must be a certain policy on this over paranoia DNS over the web. Just because we are from this God Forbidden Country. That DNS must also be aware respect of every person identity and its pureness of truth. That abuses of Power over end users should not be tolerated. You can actually scan my computer remotely what have been I am doin. And our clenliness in person and privacy must also be respected. I am not either a politician in my place nor see me hovering with those currupt people. You must also aware of your technology extent and limitations that to block person DNS must be first submitted to court order before doing it. Not because you are DNS you are to put things and rule of law in your own hands to your wrong impressions and swell headedness.

Sounds like a lot of guys trying to connect their gaming rigs to the Internet. You may have to set up a router (with either your PC’s or rig’s NIC MAC address cloned) between your gaming rig and your Internet modem. The reason is that your ISP might initially redirect you and deny you Internet access if they cannot locate your rig’s NIC MAC address. You’d have to start a web browser, navigate to their site, and authorise your MAC address.
An I.P. address of 169.254.x.x is invalid; it means that your hardware cannot locate a DHCP server to retrieve settings. This could be due to a faulty cable, a bad network card, a broken plug or outlet, your ISP being down momentarily, power to your modem being off, etc. There’s no quick advice to fixing a problem like this aside from “Investigate”. Yes - this means you’ll have to look, to think, to reason, and to research. You may even have to toggle power off and on for your modem, your switch / router, and / or your rig.
Each ISP will have different numbers for their DNS servers; the “208.x.x.x” given above will only work for customers of whatever company that is. Call up your company and get the information from them if you have static setup. If it’s dynamic, set your network card to dynamic and you’re laughing, provided the company has registered your NICs MAC address.
You dont need to call your ISP, nor do you need to be computer savvy to get this to work. The simplest way to do it, is to make your xbox set it all automatically, then write the IP, the gateway and the subnet mask down. Then type those same numbers back in, but change the last digits of your ip to whatever youd like between 2 and 254. so if your IP is 198.164.2.2, change it to 198.164.2.200 and keep the subnet and the gateway the same. Then on your computer or laptop use the run prompt and type cmd
This will bring up the DOS Prompt and the under c:, type ipconfig /all (yes there is a space after config.) This will list your primary and secondary dns, you may have to scroll up though. Then just reset your modem and router and test your connection. It should work beautifully. I just finished doing it for two of my xboxes and it works fine. Good luck
My xbox live isn’t working i put the dns and ip stuff in and it still isn’t connecting. help?

Hey guys, if you want to set up the PS3 internet connection and you need to manually put in the DNS first and secondary code, then this is how you do it. First go to control panel, then go to Network Connections, then go to Local Area Connection, the on the status page, click details and it should be displayed on there. this was done on my Windows XP computer.
I need to change my DNS but I don’t know how to. Can this be done at home? If so, how? If not, who do I contact to change it? Qq
For those having trouble with connecting your wireless to your PS3, I have a tip on getting the information that you need.
I too was having issues connecting and it seemed like every thing I did, gave me different SUB numbers, Default Router numbers and Primary DNS numbers. I finally stopped messing around with it and took my PS3 into the room where my computer/router is at. I hooked up the PS3 to the TV and then plugged the ethernet cable into the Playstation. I proceeded to do the internet setup only this time I selected to connect using a wire. It ran through the process and when I was finished, I went back to the settings and checked the connection status which listed all the correct numbers.
Now I was able to move my PS3 back into my room and enter the correct information to establish a wireless connection.
Some of you may also have a firewall set up in your Network Connections which is preventing your PS3 from connecting to the host.
