DNS Configuration

The final step of network configuration is to configure the Domain Name Service servers. Domain Name Service (DNS) is the software that is responsible for converting host names into numbers that computers can understand.

If you selected a DHCP or PPPoE ethernet device, they may retrieve your DNS information for you. If you have no DHCP or PPPoE configured devices then you are required to enter in at least one DNS server otherwise both are optional.
