Fixed IP connection
(using static IP
address)

If you connect to the Internet using a DSL Modem, and the use of your account

requires you to manually enter your IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and

DNS servers, select the Manual Config option in the Protocol field.

After you have
updated the various
settings, make sure
you click the Apply
button for changes to
take effect.

DNS Servers

A Domain Name Server (DNS) is an index of names and Web addresses.

When you type a Web address into your browser, such as

www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server will find that name in its index and

then find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs provide

a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are connecting to

the Internet with static IP settings, it is likely that your ISP also

provided DNS server addresses.
