The DNS resolver on a DNS server maps human-readable addresses 
to IP address numbers. A human-readable address is one such as:
maggie.copro.company.com
 
As a DNS relay, the modem forwards requests for DNS resolution to another device on the LAN 
or WAN that performs the resolution service. When you enable DNS Relay mode, enter the IP 
address for the device that will perform DNS resolution. Either your service provider or LAN 
administrator will provide this IP address.
If the modem is configured as a DHCP client (see 
), it is served 
a DNS address in addition to an IP address and subnet mask. The DNS relay will be 
automatically enabled and the DNS server IP address will be automatically displayed in the 
DNS server IP address field shown on 
.
If you do not enable DNS relay nor do you enable DHCP client, then you must add the IP 
address for a DNS resolver to the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) setup for your PC (or other DHCP 
client). See 
 for more information on setting up this information.
