About to Burn down D-Link

This is a very quick router question. Using a Dlink DI-624 when setting up the virtual server and port forwarding settings. What is the default DNS address's of the Router to enter into the computer when putting in its assigned ip address and subnet mask.

Default DNS address?

I don't think that's a thing.

The default ip address and subnet mask should be on the label on the bottom, if that's what you're talking about.

When filling out the area in your network properties telling the computer to home in on Ip address 192.168.0.xxx, under that is Subnet, under that is Default gateway, which for a dlink is 192.168.0.1 but what do you put for the two DNS lines under that.

In Primary DNS server, put the IP address of the router (so 192.168.0.1). Leave secondary DNS blank.

You can try the same for your DNS server lines as your gateway (192.168.0.1, in this case) or you can check what DNS server entries were assigned to you router by your ISP and use those values instead.

Or you can just set up your router to assign IPs to computers connected to it and you won't have to worry about any of that.

An ungodly amount of googling has not lead me to the routers default DNS setting.

That's because there is no default DNS setting.

You can either put in the IP address of the router (which usually works), or you can put in the IP addresses of the DNS servers for your ISP (which are probably in the router, if it accepts DHCP-assigned IP addressing).

If you already have a dynamic ip, then go into the command line and do ipconfig. This will show you the DNS servers for your ISP so you can enter them in the static IP settings.

Windows of course.
