Defining DNS addresses in a Simple IP service template

The Domain Naming 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 System Administrator for the correct Primary or Secondary DNS
IP numbers.

Note:

Most networks automatically provide DNS information. Leave the

Query DNS option checked unless you are certain you need to manually
enter DNS information.
