DNS Addresses
DNS (Domain Name Server) addresses are for the campus servers that translate the Virginia Tech domain names that your computer uses and converts them to IP addresses so that you can connect to the Internet.
Configuring Your Ethernet Connection:
To determine the address for the DNS server you should use, pick the two addresses you think are closest to you, based on the building. Hosts configured with DHCP get resolver configuration from the DHCP server.
