The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave 
this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter 
the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned 
from the ZyXEL Device via DHCP.

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and 
vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is 
extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before 
you can access it.

The ZyXEL Device can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.

1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, 

when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS 
Server fields in the SYSTEM General screen.

2 If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields in  the 

SYSTEM General screen set to 0.0.0.0 for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server 
IP addresses.

Use this screen to set up an Ethernet connection (no Roadrunner service) with the ISP. To 
access this screen, click Network > WAN > Internet Connection.
