Selecting Query DNS
Your pdQ smartphone can verify the DNS (Domain Naming System) numbers
of a computer before attempting a network connection. If you put a check
mark in the Query DNS check box, the Primary and Secondary DNS number
lines do not appear on the screen. Uncheck the Query DNS check box to
display the Primary and Secondary DNS lines. Be aware that not all service
providers support querying DNS.

Select the Query DNS check box to turn on this option.
Defining Primary and Secondary DNS
The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for
translating the names of host computers into IP addresses. When you enter a
DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying a specific server that handles
the translation services.
An IP address has four sections, separated by periods. Each section is a
number from 0 to 255. In the Details dialog, you enter each section separately.
Ask your Internet Service Provider or system administrator for the correct
Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers. Many systems do not require you to
enter a DNS. If you are not sure, leave the DNS line blank.
To enter a Primary and Secondary DNS:
