Cannot Port Forward with no DNS

[Mr.Noßody]

So, just recently I lost all ability to host for no reason. Just randomly cut out after I tried to add an addon into my addons folder (addon not the cause).

But more worrying, while trying to port forward I found that my router literally had no DNS.

(Second picture is the CMD IP Config - Idk if I need to show you this..)

And no, I cant set it. It breaks my internet connection.

How do I fix this?

dns is for outgoing connections, and is completely unrelated to your current problem

your computer has a dynamic local ip address which changed. update your port forwarding settings following the same tutorial you used the first time you did so

The problem with that is... when I go to the Local Internet options, and chooses the information to set in the IPv4, I set the generic stuff that's necessary... like:

192.168.1.45
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

The DNS field below MUST be active.  It needs information for me to put in there.  Entering random numbers breaks my internet connection.  Entering nothing gives me an error and tells me to enter information.  Editing the router ONLY without tampering with the IPv4 settings doesn't allow me to host just like before.  I'm told that I need to follow up with the IPv4 changes, but it won't let me do that without entering a DNS.

Help?

If you need DNS servers, try google's public DNS
The addresses are
primary: 8.8.8.8
secondary: 8.8.4.4

you shouldn't be modifying the settings of the DHCP server

post a screenshot of the port-forwarding page you're modifying

Thats the port forwarding page. What I was talking about was step 3E on the guide where it asks for your DNS.

[Lugnut]

What guide? DNS is completely unrelated to what you're trying to do.

Just set the four boxes under "destination IP address" to the last field in the IP address on the IPv4 Address line of the Ethernet section in the picture you posted earlier, then hit OK and then Apply.
Also, all the stuff listed in the command prompt window you posted earlier isn't personally identifiable in the slightest, no need to blur it out. Also, some blurring algorithms can be reversed, so white it out next time instead of blurring.

Wasn't sure if any of that was important.
Also, I was following the trouble shooting guide. http://blockland.us/portforward/

Ill try what you said.

[Mr.Noßody]

Well, that didn't do anything.

But this popped up in my console and it worries me.

[Mr.Noßody]

Okay. So I fiddled around with what you said and got it to work.
So, its all working and dandy.

Thanks a bunch!

[Mr.Noßody]

Okay, I lied.

Everything works perfectly for one computer. We have two on one router.
Te more important of the two can still not host.

You must portforward to both computers as they both have different IPV4 numbers.

Shoot, then that means I cant port forward two computers on the same router.
Won't let me set both to the same port range.

Well, thats at least good to know..

[Mr.Noßody]

Yep, there we go. Thanks Starzy.
