DNS Setup

The DNS is used to resolve the DNS name to IPs. You can type the DNS name or obtain it automatically.
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (for example:
www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing)
IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can just enter your host name to connect to your game server without having to know
your IP address.
To access the DNS setting window, click on the DNS button under the ADVANCED tab.
DNS AND DEFAULT GATEWAY
If you are using the router for DHCP service on the LAN and are
using DNS servers on the ISP's network, check the Obtain DNS
server address automatically box.
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 Alternate DNS Server.
