Defining primary and secondary DNS

The domain name system (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for translating the
names of host computers into IP addresses. When you enter a DNS number (or IP
address), you are identifying a specific server that handles the translation services.

Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the Details dialog box,
you enter each section separately. Each section of an IP address is made up of a
number from 0 to 255; numbers are the only allowable characters in this field.

Ask your ISP or system administrator for the correct primary or secondary DNS IP
address.

Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS IP address. If you are not sure,
leave the DNS field blank.
