Let's say I have a computer connected to a router:

Network: 192.168.0.0/24 Router: 192.168.0.1 PC: 192.168.0.2 through DHCP

The DNS setting is set to "Obtain automatically".

How does Windows know where to send the DNS request?

What is the default DNS server? Is it the default gateway or the immediate router's IP?

Thank you!
