Default fixed IP, but get DNS automatically ??
Win 98 SE --
How can I set the IP od a local machine yet still get the DNS server
addresses from from my Linksys router? I can enter the desired IP
(198.161.1.101) and gateway (198.161.1.1), but have no DNS listed by
winipcfg, and no net access.

Everything works fine when I select "get an IP address automatically".

I do not see where to specify to get the DNS from the router, or even
set it manually. I don't have any problem when I do this with Win 2K.
