Entering DNS numbers and IP addresses

The Internet uses the Domain Naming System (DNS) to translate the names of host computers into IP addresses. A DNS number (or IP address) identifies a specific server that handles the translation services.

Each DNS or IP address is a series of four numbers, from 0 to 255, separated by periods.

Anyone who logs onto the Internet must have a unique identifier—an IP address. This IP address can be either temporary—assigned automatically each time you log on—or permanent.

Not all systems require that you enter a DNS number; check whether it is with your system administrator. If a DNS number is required but not entered, logging on to your network may appear successful. However, the connection will fail if you try to use an application or look up information.

If your system requires DNS numbers, ask your Internet Service Provider or system administrator what they are.

To specify a primary and secondary DNS number:

1 In the Network Preferences screen with a service template selected, tap Details.
