The Accounts DNS tab
Specify the domain name for your machine. As with DNS
addresses, it is restored to the original specified in
/etc/resolv.conf
when the connection goes down. If it is
left blank, no changes are made to the domain name specified in
/etc/resolv.conf
Choose between Automatic (the ISP will automatically issue you DNS server addresses when you connect) and Manual. If you choose manual, the DNS IP Address section is then enabled.
This section is only enabled if you chose Manual in
the previous option. Add the Domain Name Servers assigned to you by your
ISP. You must specify at least one Domain Name Server for
your OS to be able to resolve human readable
IP addresses such as
ftp.kde.org
. The DNS server
addresses supplied must be in numeric form, for example,
128.231.231.233
. These addresses will be added at
runtime to /etc/resolv.conf
.
Choose the button to add each new DNS server address to the list box below. Choose to remove an entry from the list.
If you check this box, any DNS servers listed in
/etc/resolv.conf
will be disabled while the connection
remains up.
