3.4.3.8.2 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP address. In the
Internet, every host has a unique and friendly name such as

www.yahoo.com

and IP address. The IP

address is so hard to remember that you may just enter the friendly name

www.yahoo.com

and then the

DNS will convert it to its equivalent IP address.

You can obtain Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if ISP provides it when you logon.
Or your ISP may provide you with an IP address of DNS. If this is the case, you must enter the DNS IP
address.
