In that case I suggest you hire a Meraki partner company to help you.

What do you want the MX67 to use the DC for?

 

How does the IP conflict fit into this picture?  What is broken, and how do you see the issue?  What do you see not working?

I have a windows server as dhcp/dns 2016, i am not sure what IPs i use for the static lan/wan.  I am bringing in a verizon mobile home cellular modem and connecting to my mx67.

 

that said, stuck on what i use for the IPs to tell meraki to directly go to my dns server 10.0.1.100 ?
