Most networks support assigning IP and DNS address details automatically via either a DHCP or Radius server. In that case, the default settings for automatic assignment are recommended. In some cases, however it may be required to assign IP and DNS address information manually. Obtain DNS server address automatically Select this option if your network supplies a DNS server address automatically. This is usually the case, so if in doubt, choose this option. Use the following DNS server address Select this option if your network manager has supplied you with fixed DNS server addresses. Enter the supplied addresses in the Preferred DNS serverand Alternate DNS server fields. DNS Suffix Enter a DNS suffix that will be appended to any unqualified host names used on this connection. If, for example, the user tries to access a host called "xyz" and a DNS suffix of "mycompany.com" has been specified, the host actually searched for will be "xyz.company.com". The suffix is only appended to unqualified host names (that is host names that do not already include a DNS suffix). Preferred WINS server Enter the IP address of the preferred WINS server that is to be used for resolving NetBIOS names. Alternative WINS server Enter the IP address of an alternate WINS server that is to be used for resolving NetBIOS names, if the preferred WINS server is not available.
