But you can also use public DNS like DNS from Google 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare 1.1.1.1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1.1.1.1

Just choose manual settings and enter:
Ip address: 192.168.0.32
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Dns: 1.1.1.1


I don't know exactly why you need internet, but you can also connect an android and share internet from your phone via cable (USB tethering in phone settings).


The MPC One has to be connect to a 'DNS Server' in order to pass that part of the test. I don't need or want to connect my MPC to the internet, it's purely to pass the test, the test you described the stages of in your initial post.

I don't know what a network administrator is. I live in a house and Google and Facebook are fed to me via a cable that comes into the house.

What am I meant to plug the ethernet cable into if not the internet? I don't have a server in the house.

Alas, changing the address doesn't work- still gets a fail.

all you gotta do is set the addressing to auto and plug a ethernet cable into your mpc / router. You can disable the internet on your modem with a button generally if you dont want it calling home.
