Why "Obtain DNS server address automatically" not clickable?
When I choose in NetSetMan on my 64bit Win 7 the appropriate adapter then there are two DNS servers entered
Preferred DNS server 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 192.168.0.1
So in case the first google DNS server fails my router will be contacted and the DNS servers entered there will be used. I told my router in its GUI management to receive the current DNS servers from my cable provider.
Ok, now back to NetSetMan: I want to tell Win now to ALWAYS use the DNS cable providder settings.
When I try to click the radio button "Obtain DNS server address automatically" then this is NOT possible.
Its greyed out/disabled. Why?

If the IP option is set to "Static IP" then the DNS must have a static value as well. The DNS addresses can only be dynamic/automatic if the IP settings are automatic as well. If you're opening the TCP/IP dialog in Windows, you'll see exactly the same behavior.
