Hello, I have a machine, an old Olidata system with a Pentium-S 166MHz and 16MB of RAM.
I installed Windows 95C (OSR2.5) and it all went smooth.
I then installed a 10/100 Fast Ethernet card from compaq (the NC3123, only card I have that is this old) and it went all ok.
I then installed the TCP IP protocol and proceded to set static IP, gateway and subnet mask, but I cannot understand how to set up DNS.
I want to use OpenDNS, since it is the DNS I always use in my machines, even though I don't want Internet on it, just SMB sharing or FTP, so Intranet.
I have a network set up in two different floors, the first one has the main router, which is connected to landline, and in the second floor I have an AP set as a bridge to the main router via WiFi, that is connected to an Ethernet switch. Such switch is then connected to my PCs, which all work fine this way. If I ping the AP from this machine it goes fine, but pinging the main router (the gateway) all requests instantly expire, just like any website like google. My intent is NOT going online, I just want a working share between my machines, since I don't feel like wasting CDs and my floppy disks are all starting to fail 😢
Did I miss something? How do I set up that damn DNS?
