To get your network information from a command prompt, first you need to get your command prompt window open. You can do this from Xp and older by clicking the start button then typing cmd in the "run" box. In windows 7, click on the windows button then type cmd in the "search programs and files" box and the window will come up.
Once you have the command prompt window open, just type ipconfig in that window and hit enter. this will give you lots of useful network information such as your TCPIP address.
you can also type in ipconfig /? to get all of the possible "switches" you can use to get specific info.
Open a command prompt window then type in ipconfig/all Then there should be your dns server.
Nslookup
Bring up a command prompt window and type 'ipconfig /all' (without the quotes)
A DNS can be determined by opening the command prompt on the start menu, type "cmd" and press enter in the black window, type in "ipconfig/all", scroll down the information displayed until DNS server is visible, the first address is the primary DNS.

could somebody help me out on this one i can't figure it out to? there is no difference between a primary and secondary DNS server except that in normal operation the primary is the one that is tried first if that dosent work then the secondry is used, just list any 2 of the 3 you have as primary and secondry
Secondary DNS gets its records from the Primary DNS Server. The secondary DNS is essentially there in case the primary DNS doesn't respond.
nslookup if it was a linux machine nslookup works too, but dig -x on a linux machine will get more info for you
In Windows operating systems steps - Go to run type cmd press enterC:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig/allafter execute this command you will get all information about dns
