Start->My Network Places->View Network Connections->(right click icon
representing your connection, e.g., Local Area
Connection)->Properties->Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)->Properties, and now
select "Obtain DNS Server address automatically".

Obtain network places automatically is already selected and I still get those two addresses. It was originally set where you input a password but I can't find that place

 

[Jim]

Sorry, I'm stumped, don't know about any "password" place related to naming
the DNS server(s). A wild guess, but are you perhaps thinking of the router
administration interface? This is normally password protected, perhaps
these are the DNS servers you specified *manually* in the router
configuration initially (thus, a DHCP request by the clients obtains these
values legitimately), but now you realize these are DNS servers should be
obtained by your router AUTOMATICALLY from your ISP (because the router uses
DHCP to configure itself too). If so, you need to update the *router*,
searching the clients is pointless. Again, just speculating.

You nailed it. It was in the router config. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
