What is the DNS used for and how do I set it up? The DNS is used to lookup the IP address for a domain to which you want to send a message.
Enter the IP addresses for your ISP DNS servers here. The default values (or ‘Don’t Know DNS Servers’ button) will set the DNS servers to the internet root servers. This setting may be used temporarily, but is not recommended as it may not correctly resolve all domain names. Note: the DNS nameservers used for sending a message to others are different than the DNS nameservers used by others to send a message to your domain(s). This setting is only used for sending a message to others; the DNS settings for your domain(s) specifiy the nameservers used by others to send a message to your domain(s).
