If you click Advanced in the top navigation menu and then select the DNS link, the following screen appears.

added to the DNS server’s table of local hosts.
You can do any of the following:
• To rename the domain name, click a host name link.
• To add a host name, click the New DNS Entry link.
To add a new entry, click the New DNS Entry link. The following screen appears. Enter the desired host name, and
then enter the appropriate IP address. Next, click OK to continue.
NOTE: Names may not contain spaces. Only letters, digits and the special characters dash (-), underscore (_) and
dot (.) may be used. These special characters may not appear at the beginning or at the end of a name. The
maximum length of a name can be is 63 characters.
