So I have a LAN with 3 computers. The server computer connects to the internet fine but the other 3 stations won't. I have checked their IP address and changed it all accordingly. It says I have a connection on my connection icon (desktop bar) but explorer says it can't connect. I looked for a few info on the problem and all I found was to run NSlookup, which gave me the following result:

DNS request timed out
Timeout was 2 seconds
***Can't find server name for address 216.58.97.21
Timed out
DNS request timed out
Timeout was 2 seconds
***Can't find server name for address 216.58.97.20
Timed out
***Default Servers are not available
Default Server: Unknown
Address: 216.58.97.21

I used the same DNS numbers as the Server, but I think I may need an individual one for each. Not sure about that detail. If so, how do I find that number? If not, any other idea of how to fix my problem?

can you post ipconfig /all results please?

do you have automatically detect setting in the LAN section of IE internet options enabled?

Also, it would help if you explained how the machines are networked. Are you using a router, ICC, etc... ?
