DNS is domain name service, it translates web site names to ip addresses, your router should be able to give the server information out automatically.

DNS (Domain Naming System) It means that the IP address you are using can not be resolved the the host DNS server. Walmart terms: Your address has no name that can be recognized. Try repairing your connection, or type in a dos prompt ipconfig/flushdns , then ipconfig /registerdns. If that doesnt work type ipconfig /release , then ipconfig /renew.

DNS is Domain Name Service, an array of computers that translate a full readable name like www.yahoo.com into usable IP numbering address, itself is also one IP address you are missing that setting on PSP but in fact you are suppose to put that in unless you know full well that without it you have to enter IP addresses instead of domain and machine names..

for simplicity:
when you type www.yahoo.com, your computer (browser) send the request to a dns server to get the ip address of yahoo.com, and once your computer get the ip address of yahoo.com it can send/recieve packets to the connected server(yahoo.com)
because computers only know ip addresses to communicate with each other
