Start--->Run
type in CMD and hit Enter
type ipconfig/all and hit Enter
Scroll down and you should find them under your IP address. DNS stands for Domain Name Server, and it is basically how your browser communicates with the Web. Instead of having to remember IP addresses and type them into the address bar all the time, it enables you to type in things such as Yahoo.com, and it will take you to the site.

DNS is the part of the network that resolves names to ip's and viceversa. This is used in your local are network and the Internet as well. Putting is in english is like when you type www.msn.com, this really doesnt exist in the internet what exists is an ip address like 249.15.211.35. DNS will match the msn.com to the ip address so that you dont have to remember the ip address to every webiste you want to go to.
On a DHCP network your dns is provided automatically, if you want to go with static ip addressing you can use your modems ip address ea.192.168.1.254 as you dns address.

You should not need to enter these. If you are using a router it should set all your ip information automatically. If you are and you really need fill them in, you can use the router IP address for the first, it acts as a dns proxy. You do not need the backup second dns, if the router is not available you have no connection anyway.

this is something that anyone using a major ISP should never have to deal with... call your ISP (the company that sells you your internet access) to get more information. Again, you most likely should NOT have to enter this information... before changing any settings on your computer... CALL your ISP
