About DNS (Domain Name Server) Lookup
A DNS (Domain Name Server) translates website names into IP addresses - numbers that your computer can
understand. For example, when you enter “www.iinet.net.au” into a browser, your domain name server translates
it to something like “203.173.50.151”. Your computer then shows you the content located at that address.
Your Internet Service provider sets a default domain name server for you, but you can change this setting by
entering the IP address of a different DNS.
