If I were you, I'd just set it up manually - its the best sure fire way of verifying the settings are correct.

If you have a PC,  open up a DOS prompt, and type:

c:\>ipconfig /all  

you'll get an output that looks a bit like this (I've cut out most of the irrelevant stuff - you'll probably see more than just one adapter e.g. wi-fi, bluetooth, VPN etc etc, but you only need the settings from the adapter you actually use, in the example below, thats the ethernet adapter):

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 199.223.0.24

In Miami enter the gateway, subnet and DNS (there may be more than one DNS server) exactly as per the output you get from ipconfig.  In the IP address box type in an address thats in the same range as the IP on you PC, but ensure the last number is not the same as any other device on your network.  Using the above example, use an IP of 192.168.0.2 etc.

 Hope that helps a bit

This thread may help:

it's in German, BUT there are screenshots.  The last one shows DNS info.  The database section show any DNS that Miami has found, but it looks like you can manually add them.
