What is a DNS?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide.
You can find the current IP addresses of your DNS server configuration via several methods:
- On the configuration screens of a home network router
- On the TCP/IP connection properties screens in Windows Control Panel
- From ipconfig or similar command line utility
