DNS Server Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host
computers to have a domain name (such as 3com.com) and one or more
IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of
host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so
that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “3com.com” into
your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS
server address used by the computers on your home network is the
location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.
DSL modem
DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing
phone lines to send and receive data at high speeds.
