This Dns clinet error problem haunts me. Is there a real fix?
jraju:
Hi, Thanks . But selecting the specified also does not permit me to change to dhcp. Even i tried for bridged to test, whether it is giving a chance to select. I do not know anything about wan ip settings in the configuration.
Thanks anyway for giving me a clue to try, samson
Samson:
Have you tried Boggin's suggested alternative DNS servers in his previous post? Or try OpenDNS ( I use these)...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Boggin:
What other options from Bridged do you get when you expand the Channel Mode dropdown ?
Does the same happen on the laptop if you disable wireless on that and wire it up ?
I wonder if it's worth setting the desktop computer up with a static IP address.
You would need to see what the DHCP range the router is using and if it covers from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 then you will need to reduce that to say 192.168.1.199 and then you could assign it as say 192.168.1.200
It would need to be outside of the DHCP range to avoid an IP conflict.

Indeed, from memory the laptop is XP SP3? which, unless it has been added, does not by default support IPv6, only IPv4. I have seen in some forums similar problems to J's resolved by disabling IPv6 in the network adapter's properties. YMMV.
See method 2 here to disable IPv6 on the Win 7 machine and more info on the error.

While I've never experienced any problems with IPv6 enabled, I always uncheck that box on my laptops as it has been known to cause connectivity problems, but don't recall J's problem being one of them.
One other thing I always do on my Win 7 laptop is to disable the MS Virtual adapter as you only need it if using a VPN.
To do that, from an admin cmd prompt enter -
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow
To reinstate it, change disallow to allow
