Router – How to Find Out DNS Server IP Used

dnsrouter

I am using Comcast. And my router is set up to acquire DNS server automatically. How can I find out the IP address of the DNS server used by my router? I am using Windows. Is there some Windows command that I can use?

Best Answer

You can do one of two things:

  1. If your router is just passing Comcast's DNS servers then you can issue an ipconfig /all at the command line and it will tell you (Comcast's servers would be 68.xx.xx.xx not 192.168.xx.xx)

  2. If your router is passing itself as the DNS server, then you should be able to go on the router's admin interface status page and see what DNS servers it got from comcast's DHCP server.
