How do I go about finding out what the Primary and Secondary DNS numbers are
on my computer? Is this assigned by the ISP?
Any assistance you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You would get that from your ISP.

Is there a way to look it up on the computer? I am using Windows XP Home
edition.
Thanks

Start>Run. In the Open box type "cmd" (no quotes). In the command window
type "ipconfig /all" (no quotes).
Note the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS (dynamic name
system) servers.

As I scanned through every one, I see this is a correct answer. 10 points to
you.

Hmmm... I was assuming he needed the DNS numbers to set up a computer's
internet connection, but that wasn't actually stated. In that case, he'd
need to get the numbers the ISP wants him to use. If he's connected, this
answer will work, assuming he's just curious what they are.
