Defining primary and secondary DNS
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 wireless service provider or system administrator for the correct primary
or secondary DNS IP numbers.
Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you are not sure, leave the
DNS field blank.
