As part of trying to troubleshoot some poor Internet performance, my ISP is asking me to &quot;update your DHCP with the following DNS entries; the ones you have work but are older servers...&quot;<br />
<br />
The problem is, I'm quite sure I've never put any DNS entries in the SBS 2008 server. &nbsp;I've looked through DNS and DHCP and cannot find any DNS entries pointing to our ISP's DNS servers.<br />
<br />
In the DNS entries for the server's (single) NIC, the single DNS entry is its own IP address (192.168.1.x)<br />
<br />
Before we went with this ISP, we had simply programmed the ISP's DNS IP addresses into the router itself. &nbsp;Is there somewhere else in the server I should be putting these entries? &nbsp;The only thing I remember about this from the server migration a year ago was the migration asing me the IP address of my router.<br />
<br />
If the ISP is asking me to update my DNS IP addresses of my ISP, isn't this the router they're talking about? &nbsp;Can someone shed some light on this?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Where to put DNS entries in my SBS 2008 machine

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
