If your Theater Network is isolated from the Internet then
there is no need for DNS Address assignments and they
can be 0.0.0.0 (as shown). However, any planned access to

corporate network will require DNS Addresses be set.
Address assignments can be either Static or Automatic (if
DHCP is in use). Consult with your network administrator
