DNS Server – How to Setup in Your Windows 7?
Why change my DNS server?
1- For fast execution
Each site page requires an IP address before it can be stacked. The time taken to determine a DNS name can add a few seconds to the stacking of a page. The speedier your DNS server then the faster your pages will stack.
The bigger the database of the DNS server then the more prominent the probability that the name will be found without looking on different DNS servers. These stored hits are much speedier than uncached hits. Regularly by a variable of ten so a 0.1 second.cached name could take 1 second on the off chance that it is not found in the DNS server database.
2- For expanded reliability
Most DNS servers are accessible sufficiently close to 100% of the time. On the off chance that your isn’t then locate a more dependable server. DNS inquiries can timeout or, in the most pessimistic scenario, get no reaction by any stretch of the imagination. There are a few approaches to lessen such issues:
Your essential DNS server ought to be the speediest DNS server for you.
Characterize more than one DNS server to utilize – at least two and presumably more – to decrease the danger of one or more DNS servers not being accessible.
Use DNS servers that are in distinctive urban areas or nations, ie topographically differing, to decrease the probability that one “calamity” will influence all your DNS servers in the meantime.
Have no less than one DNS server that is near to your area, likely a DNS server at your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
On the off chance that your ISP is little then unquestionably search for a DNS server with a bigger database.
3- For more noteworthy security
All DNS servers don’t offer the same components or have the same vulnerabilities. Numerous DNS servers still don’t work utilizing set up security components like DNSSEC.
Some DNS servers give extra elements, for example, the separating of web locations to enhance security. These arrangements can make different issues.:
Malware security is given by Norton DNS and others
Phishing security is given by OpenDNS and others
Class sifting for parental controls is given by OpenDNS and others
How is your windows 7 system arranged for DNS
You will for the most part characterize your DNS servers when you design your Internet system association whether dial-up or broadband. Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have programmed arrangement or something to that affect so the DNS servers are characterized consequently. On the off chance that you needed to physically arrange the system association then risks are that you additionally needed to physically characterize the DNS servers.
DNS servers settings will exist for each PC you use on the Internet whether they were physically data or naturally designed. The key inquiry is the place are my outer DNS servers characterized?
At your PC? On the off chance that it is straightforwardly joined with a modem for Internet get to then it will have the framework DNS servers.
At your router? On the off chance that you have a neighborhood (LAN) then a switch is normally the best place to characterize your DNS servers. Any gadget joined with that switch can be upgraded consequently utilizing the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This implies that changing the outside DNS servers at the switch will influence all gadgets associating with it utilizing DHCP.
The issue with this is that shabby home switches can bring about issues. This is by all accounts the case with my switch. I have more issues when my switch is arranged as the DNS Server with the IP address192.168.2.1 (a location held for inward systems) than if I characterize the DNS servers physically at each PC.
Step by step instructions to discover your DNS servers in your windows 7
There are a few routines to discover your framework DNS servers. On the off chance that you need to know all the more then go to the following area Changing your DNS setup for further assets.
1- I suggest that you utilize the incredible assets for changing your DNS setup in the following segment. The best cover most working frameworks and numerous switches.
2- In your system association settings, go to the properties for your system association, select the system card if there is more than one, and afterward the TCP/IP protocal properties which incorporate the DNS servers..
3- The projects portrayed in How to Find the Best DNS Server will let you know what your DNS servers are.
4- The Windows charge line: ipconfig/all shows the system IP design including the framework DNS servers
A step by step with photos for settings DNS server in Windows 7
- Find the network connection icon in your windows 7 at the bottom right of the screen.
Right click on the network icon to bring up the menu.
Select the ‘Status’ menu item
- Then select properties
- Then choose TCP/IPv4
- The Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog ought to show.
The DNS arrangement is unmistakable at the base.
In this case, the DNS servers have been characterized physically however they would not be noticeable if the radio catch was chosen for ‘OBTAIN DNS server address consequently’.
In the event that they are unmistakable, select the “ADVANCED” catch to see the Advanced TCP/IPv4 Settings where we can check whether more than two DNS servers are characterized.
The Advanced TCP/IPv4 Settings will open.
Select the ‘DNS’ tab to display the DNS server addresses. In this example, there are only two DNS servers.
I have also selected the ‘Add’ button to bring up the ‘TCP/IPv4 DNS Server’ in which I’ve entered a DNS server IP address 8.8.4.4 ready to ‘Add’.
The sort order can be changed using the arrows at the right.
Step by step instructions to test if the framework DNS arrangement is harmed
You can mistakenly design your framework DNS by, for instance, writing in erroneous IP addresses for the DNS servers. On the off chance that you do this then your web program won’t have the capacity to get to Internet assets utilizing area names however you ought to have the capacity to utilize URLs with a substantial IP address.
On the off chance that you discover you have lost all web get to notwithstanding utilizing IP addresses then that is unrealistic to be a DNS issue. Your system association could be down or malware could have changed your setup (e.g. by setting your system association with utilize an intermediary server).
Changing your DNS arrangement
Before arranging your picked DNS Servers, you may need to run a DNS Spoof Test to check the helplessness of your picked DNS servers. Simply be mindful that a few switches lockup or accident on the off chance that you run these tests. GRC gives a rundown of switches with known issues. It did exclude mine which smashed when I tried it. I had gotten it may on the grounds that it is like some of those recorded. That is a justifiable reason motivation to show signs of improvement switch. See GRC’s notes at the base of the DNS Spoof Test page for a rundown of switches that come up short along these lines.
Assets to help you change your DNS arrangement
– There are projects to mechanize the changeover to better DNS servers yet I’d give all of them a miss. Rather, I urge you to visit some amazing assets that will help you.
– On the off chance that you are at all uncertain, you ought to observe these assets about designing your DNS servers. Simply recall that the DNS server IP addresses they demonstrate to you in the aides are for their servers. You can substitute the IP addresses for your favored DNS servers.
– OpenDNS has a fabulous Setup guide for most working frameworks. There are feature instructional exercises which some will discover valuable. DNS Benchmark talks about the issues around switch based DNS design. The site additionally prescribes the OpenDNS guide.
– Google has great directions for both changing and afterward testing the new setup.
– Other easier, less finish aides can be found at DNS Advantage (Comodo DNS). ClearCloud has directions to switch away it as it is suspending its free DNS administration.
– Programming that may help you to change your setup yet are excessively restricted, DNS Jumper will change your DNS addresses for you however has some noteworthy shortcomings:
Just the initial two DNS servers can be changed on your framework. On the off chance that you need more than two then you will need to discover another arrangement.
As a matter of course it just incorporates open DNS servers in its database. You can include others.
It can just change to an arrangement of DNS servers e.g. both from Google or both from OpenDNS. On the off chance that you need to blend administration suppliers then you will need to include another set yourself.
DNS Helper (in the past Google DNS Helper) is an utility to change to one of the principle worldwide DNS administration suppliers that I don’t suggest:
– You can’t include your own servers separated from one arrangement of custom DNS servers.
– On the off chance that you change DNS servers while in a Windows session it won’t overhaul the DNS server IPs to restore until you begin another session.
– In like manner Public DNS Server Tool is too restricted to ever be suggested.
– After you change your DNS design
– Flush the framework DNS stores
– When you change your DNS design you ought to clear the framework reserves so that the new DNS settings produce prompt results. I utilize CCleaner, the Editor’s Choice for Best Free File Cleaner, to clear the reserves on the grounds that it runs once and cleans every program’s store. Different alternatives are more restricted.
– Flush the framework DNS resolver store.
– The Windows summon ipconfig/flushdns will flush the DNS resolver reserve and revive it with just the passages in the Hosts record. ipconfig/displaydns will show the framework DNS store.
– Flush your web program stores
– A few programs will permit you to do this from the menu.
