1 x adsl gateway
1 x wireless xp
1 x wired mandriva linux (with xp and w2k - installed seperatly)
1 x wireless mandriva laptop
here is the dns setup -
gateway set to 212.74.112.66 and 212.74.112.67 (tiscali dns)
wireless xp set to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (open dns)
mandriva is auto-detect with xp set to tiscali dns and w2k set to open dns
laptop is auto on wired and open dns on wireless,
here is the question -
what dns am i using ?
if i check on the wireless xp at the open dns website it tells me i am using open dns, yet my mandriva tells me i am using tiscali dns - buuut, if i boot into w2k and check, then it tells me i am using open dns,
if i check on the laptop it tells me i am using tiscali dns when wired but open dns when wireless - and its connected to the same gateway,
when i change the gateway to open dns then everything is using open dns apart from the wired xp,
but if i change another of the computers/operating systems to tiscali dns then i am using tiscali dns on those particular operating systems only,
(i have tried lots of variations on this)
i always thought that its the gateway thats connected to the internet and the settings in the gateway take precedence over the operating system,
anyone have any ideas about this ?
