Publisher's Description: |
QuickSetDNS doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - QuickSetDNS.exe
After running QuickSetDNS, the main window allows you to easily choose the desired DNS servers to use on your Internet connection, by using the 'Set Active DNS' option (F2). By default, QuickSetDNS provides only one alternative: the public DNS servers of Google - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
You can easily add more DNS servers to the list by using the 'New DNS Server' option (Ctrl+N).
If the 'Automatic DNS' option is selected, then the DNS server information is received from your router automatically, using DHCP.
If you have multiple network adapters, you may need to choose the correct network adapter from the combo-box located just below the toolbar of QuickSetDNS.
Setting DNS servers from command-line
With QuickSetDNS, you can easily set the desired DNS servers from command-line, without displaying any user intertface by using the /SetDNS command:
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS [DNS Servers List] [Network Adapter String]
[DNS Servers List] specifies the DNS servers, delimited by comma if there are multiple servers. If empty string is specified ( "" ), QuickSetDNS will set the automatic DNS mode.
[Network Adapter String] specifies the unique ID string of your network adapter. If you don't know what is your Network Adapter String, simply press Ctrl+L (Copy SetDNS Command-Line) and the entire command needed to set the selected DNS server will be copied to the clipboard.
If empty string is specified ( "" ), QuickSetDNS will try to choose the correct network adapter automatically.
Here's some examples for the /SetDNS command:
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4" "{F41A4233-02DA-42D6-A97B-A2D12F9FE0CD}"
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS "" "{F41A4233-02DA-42D6-A97B-A2D12F9FE0CD}"
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS ""
QuickSetDNS.exe /SetDNS "192.168.1.1" "{F41A4233-02DA-42D6-A97B-A2D12F9FE0CD}"
