The router should have all your ISP settings. If you're using DHCP, the router should then pass along the DNS info to the DHCP clients automatically.

Unless you're cloning your Mac, don't bother with the DNA… :)
Now about the DNS. Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask them to give you the DNS Server address(es). There will be a Primary, Secondary and sometimes a Trinary server. Write down both or all three numbers. Ask also for the "Search Domain(s)" and write those down. Go into the Linksys setup utility at http://192.168.1.1 and enter your password. Down toward the bottom of the main Setup window, you should have three places to enter Static DNS Servers. Enter all of them that your ISP gave you. Any that you don't have, leave set to 0.0.0.0. Save your changes. This should supply the DNS Servers to your Macs connected via DHCP or Static. It doesn't hurt to place these addresses in the Mac's Network preferences pane either. You can also add the Search Domain(s) separated by commas here. |
Fast
Hi experts,
Thank you again for your input, it works just fine now. All of my computers are running fast and all of the pages can be loaded! I can send e-mail, but still can't receive it from my own domain provider. It's odd, but I CAN receive e-mail from my home e-mail with the same settings in the router, but not my mail from our business domain. Maybe I should contact them and ask them for a solution. If you have any advice on this, please... I never thought I'd come this far! ;) |

Faster computers
Hi,
The advice to set my IP to a static setting worked and I put the DNS provided by my ISP in the control panel. That's all! Thanks again and I hope my e-mail gets fixed so I can spend my time Internetting instead of configuring. :rolleyes: |
Linksys router
Hi again,
After configuring a while I'm still not able to receive email from my domainserver. Someone from the helpdesk told me my email address is not a POP-mail but a Batch-mail, whitch means that it's a 'catch-all' email address. that could be the reason why the router blocks the traffic between the server and my computer. He adviced me forward the port (whitch is 110 for the mailserver) to my IP-address. I tried to do so in the firmware, but I guess I did it wrong because I still can't receive mail. Does anybody have a suggestion? I would be happy, because my boss is surfing the Internet all the time and he almost gets irritated when I have to send an e-mail. :) Thanks for being helpful! |
