I had to setup a new workstation at work today, but couldn't get connected to the internet before looking at and following the other computer's in the office DNS settings as follows: Use 8.8.8.8, instead of automatic assignment setting.
Other IPv4 settings: "Obtain IP address automatically"
I briefly checked out our router's settings and it's configured as a DHCP server. The only DNS settings I could find that were configurable were Dynamic DNS, which is disabled. In the router's WAN IPv4 overview section it lists both WAN1 and WAN2 with addresses for IP Address, Default Gateway, and DNS.
I'm curious about what this DNS address is, and whether routers normally need to be configured somehow if you want to obtain DNS server addresses automatically.
