3.10 DNS & DHCP Server

Domain Name Servers (DNS) map the user-friendly domain names
that you type into your web browser (for example,

www.hayesmicro.com) to the numerical IP addresses that are

used for Internet routing.
When you type a domain name into your browser, your PC sends a

request to a DNS server to find the equivalent numerical address.
The ADSL Ethernet serves as the DNS proxy for computers

attached to your LAN. It forwards requests to your service

provider’s DNS server.
Typically you should not need or want to change your DNS

settings, unless instructed by your service provider.
The DNS & DHCP Server page of your Configuration Manager

also supports 10 static DHCP address mappings. The ADSL

Ethernet will always assign the same IP addresses to the MAC

addresses listed in the lower half of the page. A LAN machine

must have a static address in order for an Internet (WAN) filter

rule to apply.
