Need to remove one of two dns addresses
My windows 7 pc is configured to use two different DNS ip addresses. How can I remove one of these addresses without going into the local area connection properties? edit hosts file, lmhosts file or other options? Thanks Bob

In a command prompt you can write: netsh interface ip delete dns [name=]InterfaceName [addr=]{DNSAddress | all} Full syntax here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738592(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_7

It's ipv4 addressing so I have to specify ipv4? as in "netsh interface ipv4 delete dns" right and also leave the "all" switch off since I just deleting one address. as in "netsh interface ipv4 delete dns [name=]InterfaceName [addr=]DNSAddress" Thanks for the reply! Bob

ip=ipv4, ipv6=ipv6. I guess netsh has existed longer that ipv6 :) The pipe, |, means either/or so yes, you should specify a specific address to delete and not use the "all" switch. Your command line should look like this: netsh interface ip delete dns <interface name> <dns to delete>
