Entering a primary and secondary DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a mechanism on 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 permitted
characters in this field.
Ask your Internet 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
filed blank.
