Answer 2

Dns Error

Answer 3

Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Computers don't know anything about alphabetical Domain Names, Like Yahoo.com but they do understand 66.94.234.13 (Yahoo IP address). DNS servers translate the name to the IP address. Usually DNS errors messages come from Windows programs.

Your ISP supplies the name servers (DNS) for your connection. If you are experiencing DNS errors, it may be entered improperly, or you may not be connected to the internet.
