Yesterday a very nice lady in India helped me to connect my wireless g router for the first time. I had the wired connection working, but got the 'limited connectivity' message when I set up wireless. She told me to enter various settings in my Lan box under TCIP, including DNS servers with single digits like 4, 2 etc. This was in the wired connections properties box, so I'm intrigued to know how this works to connect to wireless, which it did first time! I presume that this was something to do with fixing an IP address, but all the books tell you not to do this. And what's with the single digit DNS servers?
