Hi,
I have a WS2K12 Essential server at home with a Win7 PC.
DHCP is resolve by my ISP cable modem (Netgear CBV734) for all the devices. IP Addresses are reserved with MAC addresses.
All the devices are linked by a gigabyte router (Netgear GS108E). The router isn't the problem as it occurs with the 2 computers linked on the router or directly on the cable modem.
On my PC, the primary DNS is set to 192.168.0.2 (Home server IP address). It takes about 3 or 4 secondes to have a web page responding in my web browser.
When I set the DNS to my ISP one (89.xxx.xxx.xxx) instead of the WS2K12 DNS by using "Internet options", the same page is responding in the second.
When I restart the PC and log in the local domain, the primary DNS is reset to the local server :(
First question is why there is so much difference between the two configuration?
Second is how can I fix this ? Do I need to configure a ISP DNS redirection on the server to faster response time ? or How to force my primary DNS on my Win7 PC?
Is the primary DNS needed to be my local server ?
Thx for any help...
