Domain Name System A system used for translating host names for network nodes into IP
(DNS) addresses. DNS allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as
belkin.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server
keeps a database of host computers and
their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is
requested (as in typing easyDNS.com into an Internet browser), the user is sent to
the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on the home
network is the location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned.
