General mail settings for cable

Bulgrim · Post by **Bulgrim** » Fri Jan 03, 2003 5:39 am

Is there any way to determine a Primary and Secondary DNS from a cable mail server? Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I'm trying to set up email on my mobile phone and it requires Primary and Secondary DNS settings.

If this isn't possible should I just stick with a free POP3 mail server and use their settings?

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to offer some input.

Cheers.

DNS can be found several ways. Usually you use the DNS servers of the ISP that you're getting your bandwidth from (because in many cases, people use ISP A for their bandwidth, and ISP B or hosting place B for their e-mail).

*Anyways, check the website of your ISP..the support section.
*Call your ISP's support
*If you are using a router, log onto your routers web admin, and look at the status page....the WAN info...you'll find them listed there.
*If you are directly connected, run WINIPCFG if you are on Win9X, or at the command prompt, IPCONFIG if WinNT. On either, focus on the NIC and it's data.
