I ask AT&T because I use their cable internet service to give me about DNS server IP address for setup static ip address, but they said DNS address in not fix, it change all the time, so they don't know DNS IP address. Someone told me I can type some word into run to get DNS ip address, but they don't know the word for typing. Is there anyone know how to get perferred and Alternative DNS server IP address ?

Do you have a static IP from AT&T? If not then you will have problems later when the DHCP server goes to release your IP. I think AT&T broadband does have a static IP service, but you have to pay more for it.
If you set up on DHCP you can get your DNS info in windows without running the command prompt.
Start---> Run winipcfg Select your adapter. click on more info. Next to the DNS you will see a IP. Next to that you will see a little button with a ... on it. Click on the button to rotate through the DNS servers that are in use by your PC.
