If you do not know the IP address of the corresponding DNS server, after dialing in windows, run ipconfig/all in the MS-DOS window to view the IP address of the DNS server (usually two ). If windows is not installed on the local machine, you can also operate on other hosts with Windows installed in the local region.

For example:
I:> ipconfig/all
