DNS Setting?

I'm using HOG PC v. 3.1.9 and I'm having a bit of trouble wirelessly networking my Tablet. Hard wired it finds the show no problem. Also if I log off with the server and log back in, my Tablet will find the show wirelessly. I'm using Static IP Addresses, the only setting I'm not sure about is the DNS and if that matters?
I'm using a switch of course and a WAP. I've checked all IPs.
The really weird thing is I had no trouble on my friends show a few weeks ago.
Thanks in advance for any help. :1zhelp:

    [QUOTE=DKatz728;60688]Ray I'm aware of what it stands for but in a static IP network what should I set it to?

    DNS is a distributed database to map host named to IP addresses.

    If you are on an isolated network for your console and such, and have not specifically setup a DNS server, then you don't have access to one . . . and will either need to use IP addresses directly, or edit the hosts file on all platforms (if possible) to provide name to IP address mapping.

    Note that this has absolutely *NOTHING* to do with whether you use DHCP or not . . . DNS is DNS and that doesn't change it. The *ONLY* crossover is that when you configure a wireless hub, you need to tell *IT* what the DNS server is so that it can give it to the DHCP clients. You still need to know what it is, however . . .
