Server / Static	IP address so that the information can be accessed.
	Like IP assignment above, the DNS can be static or allocated by the service
	provider when you connect. If static is selected additional fields need to be
	completed containing the static information.

Own IP address	Only required if the IP assignment is static.
	Format example: 123.9.45.3
	Do not enter any leading 0s when typing in IP address.
Primary DNS	Only required if the DNS assignment is static.
