A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web addresses. If you type a Web
address into your browser, such as www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server will find that name in its
index and find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for
speed and convenience. Since you are connecting to the Internet with static IP settings, it is likely
that your ISP also provided DNS server addresses.
