A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web
addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as
www.smc-europe.com, a DNS server will nd that name in its index
and nd the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs provide
a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are connecting
to the Internet with static IP settings, it is likely that your ISP also
provided DNS server addresses.
