Finally you must set-up DNS Configuration on each PC:
Each PC
MUST
have the address for DNS entered in it’s
TCP setting. If your PC doesn’t have a DNS setting then it
will not be able to find any internet sites so it’s important
that you have this set correctly!
On the DNS Configuration screen you must Enable DNS
and then enter a Host name; this can be anything you like
– just a made up name will do!
Now you need to enter the DNS address.

On the main TCP/IP Properties screen select ‘Use the
following DNS server addresses’.
Now you need to enter an address for the ‘Preferred DNS’.
Ideally you should get the DNS address to use from your
ISP (a list showing some of the common ISP DNS

ISPs’ DNS address then you can temporarily use the
address 212.50.160.100.
Enter the DNS address for the preferred DNS (as shown
above).
Finally click on OK, then OK and then Close. The new
TCP/IP settings should take immediate effect.,
That’s all there is to the basic set-up.
