What came on screen when I go to dealing with changing primary DNS was
. I think the entry does not look right ( I can see the ate just before Domain) and I think the details to the right may have been cut off. I cannot expand the DOS screen to take anything that may be there in. Should there be?
Quote admin}=>dns server route list
DNS Server Entries:
DNS Server Source Label Metric Intf St
ate Domain
D 212.159.6.9 10 Internet U
P *
D 212.159.6.10 10 Internet U
P *
What next to do is the question. Answers please

Have you tried changing the properties of the DOS box?

Other than that, don't forget the saveall command when you've made the changes.

Changing DOSBOX properties (suggested by rhohne), what would be sensible changes from must be the defaults?
BTW whilst waiting on replies I tried again, on and off line, dns server route delete dns=212.159.x.y to remove a PN DNS. Each time it failed to remove route.
Thanks to you both for helping me so far.

I'd suggest doing the dns changes off-line because you need to check your changes have held through a reboot. If you are off-line you can do that as many times as you like without upsetting DLM! If you didn't add any new ones it may have retrieved the default Plusnet ones when you went on-line. If it's any help there is a CLI manual you can dowload but it doesn't seem to have any more useful information on this than the Library article.

The default width is 80.
As has been mentioned it's trial and error to get the width you want.
Since the "dns server route list" command produces line lenghts of 100+ a screen buffer width of say 120 should be adequate.
Have noticed another thread on the subject which uses the "dns server route flush" command to remove all DNS forwarding entries and templates.
