I often need to determine the IP address of printers that are mapped to Windows 10 computer using WSD.

What is the best method for doing this?

Is this IP address stored somewhere within Windows 10 (such as the registry) where it can be looked up?

Single Server 2012 R2 network w/40 Win7 PC's.  All "appears to function just fine but continually getting DNS - BPA reports "DNS Servers on Ethernet should include the loopback address, but not as the first entry".

NIC is configured:
Preferred DNS Server:  192.168.16.4
Alternate DNS Server:  127.0.0.1

I've tried different combinations of these addresses.  Should I have our ISP's DNS server settings as primary?

I confess I'm no DNS expert, nor do I know anything about actively managing an IPv6 network.  I can find my way around IPv4 and basic DNS functions just fine.

Connection has  “Microsoft Network Adaptor Multiplexor Protocol” unchecked.  Unsure if this is a default setting or if done as part of earlier diagnostics.  Will follow best practices.

Unsure if it is related but all workstations on the network are Windows7 Pro.  Most of them show a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the task bar and “no Internet” although the Internet connection is just fine.  I disable IPv6 momentarily and the exclamation mark goes away.  I reenable IPv6 and the exclamation mark stays gone until the next reboot.

Any assistance appreciated.

I just installed a Sonicwall at a location that just has multiple PC's and wireless hp 8710 printers. I can install the printer with TCP/ip address and print a test page but, documents print half pages and partial lines.

I downloaded new drivers but, the hp software sees the printer but fails to install.

Don't know what i should do. Would really prefer to install by ip address.

Does COMCAST have poor quality phone service?

I switched yesterday from Verizon FIOS to COMCAST and had terrible telephone calls today on the land line.

I think we were sold >100 GPS upload speed. So, I doubt the poor quality is due to a slow internet connection. But maybe the old Verizon FIOS phone number was what they called a POTS line, a Plain Old Telephone Service line. Those were the ones where you cold hear pin drop.

Did I move from a POTS Line to an Internet based phone? And is that the cause of the major drop in quality?

My new modem is...

Xfinity
Dual Band Wifi
802.11.ac

The phone cable goes into the back.

Would an Internet phone do better?

Is there anything I can do?

I really despise having poor phone quality and may go back to Verizon to escape a bad connection.

Suggestions?

Thanks

what happens at every step of our network model, when a node on one network establishes a TCP connection with a node on another network. You can assume that the two networks are both connected to the same router...... how it works?

I can see in a packet X-Forwarded-For info such that I can see the original source
address of the packet sent to the front end of my load balancer. Now if I am using
wireshark and I only wanted to see packets with a specific x-forwarded-for value,
how could I do that?

Are other ISPs besides Comcast able to use Comcast's DNS server addresses of 75.75.75.75 & 75.75.76.76?

An organization I am working for has switched over to using Comcast fiber optics as its primary internet service provider (ISP). We also have a second internet service provider (Etheric Networks (https://ethericnetworks.com/) which provides satellite dish based internet services.

Our internet service is set up in a failover configuration using a SonicWALL TZ600 router so that if our primary Comcast fiber optic internet service fails then our internet service will automatically switch over to Etheric until the Comast fiber optic service is restored.

We would like to continue to use the static external DNS server addresses of 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76 in place if our internet service ever switches over to Etheric should the Comcast fiber optic internet service become unavailable.

Our question is if our internet service switches over to using the Etheric internet service will the external IP DNS server addresses of 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76 still be valid and provide timely DNS name resolution?

Or is there a different type of method we should be using to handle our internet service and DNS name resolution switch over?
