Server IP Address | Displays the IP address of the domain name server(s) the system can use for resolving |
| domain names to IP addresses. Domain look up order is determined by the order of the |
| servers listed. The first server queried is the first server displayed. Therefore, ensure |
| obsolete addresses are periodically removed. |
Server Type | Displays whether the DNS IP address entry has been created statically (manually) or |
| dynamically. The DHCP server provides the dynamic DNS IP address entry which will be |
| displayed on the list. A static DNS IP address can be created by clicking the Add button. |
