Looking Up a DNS Address

A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for example, www.netgear.com) to an
IP address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, mail, or other server on the Internet, request
a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
To look up a DNS address:
1. In the Perform a DNS Lookup section on the Diagnostics screen, enter a domain name in the
Internet Name field.
2. Click the Lookup button. The results of the lookup action are displayed in the NS Lookup
screen. To return to the Diagnostics screen, click Back on the browser menu bar.
