Issue/Question
How do I change DNS providers on my Mac?
Environment
macOS
Resolution
If the computer is owned by Western, the first or second DNS provider must be one of the following WKU DNS entries:
161.6.94.105
161.6.94.106
52.25.213.14
Without one of the above entries, you may not be able to log into your computer and/or connect to networked-drives (personal, shared, and secure) nor use departmental printers.
