How can I set the IP od a local machine yet still get the DNS server

(198.161.1.101) and gateway (198.161.1.1), but have no DNS listed by
winipcfg, and no net access.


There's a dns tab in the tcp/ip properties. You need to select "enable
dns" on it and there is space at the bottom for entering the
nameserver(s) which can be your router or isp's nameserver(s).
