Dns Setup - D-Link DSL-G624T User Manual

DSL-G624T Wireless ADSL Router User Guide

DNS Setup

The Router can be configured to relay DNS settings from your ISP or another available service to
workstations on your LAN. When using DNS relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the
LAN and forward them to the ISP's, or alternative DNS servers. DNS relay can use auto discovery or the
DNS IP address can be manually entered by the user. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and
configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who are using the Router for DHCP
service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP's network, will leave DNS relay enabled (either
auto discovery or user configured).
DNS Setup menu
If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the Router is not pre-configured with DNS
server information, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically option. Auto discovery DNS
instructs the Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through DHCP. If your WAN
connection uses a Static IP address, auto discovery for DNS cannot be used.
If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, enter these IP addresses in the available entry fields for
the Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.
When you have configured the DNS settings as desired, click the Add/Apply button.
