Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
(2) Short for digital nervous system, a term coined by Bill Gates to describe a network of personal computers that make it easier to obtain and understand information.
To find a DNS provider of the domain you need to find DNS servers authoritative for that domain (ie which are used to keep DNS records of this domain).
A list of DNS servers authoritative for the domain is shown in NS (name server) record. To find this record you can use NSLOOKUP tool.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what operating system you're using. On Windows-based systems, opening a command shell window and typing "ipconfig /all" should show you. On Linux systems, "ifconfig" will likely tell you.
If you're setting up the system initially, your IP service provider will need to tell you the primary DNS... OR you can use DHCP, in which case the DHCP Response packets will contain the addresses of the DNS servers your provider wants you to use.
