I wanted to set a static ip for my router so i could forward a port for utorrent, so i went to a website which explains a way to set a static ip adress. It said that I had to go to cmd and type "ipconfig/all". I did and it said i had to note down the ip adress/subnet mask etc. of my computer, as displayed.

Then it said i had to get the DNS server ip adresses. In cmd there was only one DNS server ip adress and it was the same as the router's. I looked it up and the website said it was happening because my router was interfearing as a proxy between the DNS servers and my computer, so I had to go to my router's status page to find the actual adresses for the dns servers.

But because of my lack of knoledge, I don't where is the page where the dns servers' ips are displayed. (i know the ip of my router and the password to log in, i just don't know what to do inside the GUI in order to get the dns servers' ips) I fogot to say my router is Intracom's JetSpeed 520(not 520i) , so if you have got the same router, any help would be useful.:(
 
Your router is acting as the DNS server, you should be able to log into your router and see what the DNS servers are from your ISP if that's what you need.
 
I know what you are asking and it isnt the answer to your question if that makes sense...

To find your DNS server log into your router and find something like connection status or something, or call your ISP that isnt classified info and they should tell you. however you dont need this...

when you make your static IP on your computer use your routers IP. thats what OMEGA was trying to tell you, your router is the DNS server... and then your router forwards dns requests to the ISP dns server.

let us know if you need further assistance with this.
 
try this from the command line, not sure how reverse look ups will act behind NAT on a local ISP

Code: 
nslookup localhost
