Without DNS we REALLY need to memorize all numeric ip addresses, instead of You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., you need to type in the address of: 192.31.186.146! Good thing, we don't need a high brain capacity to memorize all numbers. Instead, we are more convenient to hostnames (i.e. mabzicle.com).

What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) - is a database of domain names for easier look up with its IP address. To illustrate, DNS is like a phone book for the Internet Domain Address in which it is HUMAN-Friendly to translate it to an IP Address that computer understand well. For a short note: Computer reads only 0 and 1, that is binary system. Thanks to DNS we don't need those massive numbers.

For example:
  • mabzicle.com(domain name) translated to ip address 192.31.186.146!
Unlike phone book, DNS quickly updates its database that whenever it has a network change it does not affect and notice end uses.

Example:
  • for mabzicle.com, you are not aware the change of its ip address. Because you can still access it without noticing it does change its ip address.
Dont worry, when you connect to your Modem, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) already assigns network configuration to you including dns servers.

These are the steps:

  2. In your command prompt black window, type this command: ipconfig /all it displays all ip configuration in your system.
