\textbf{\acronym{DNS} servers} are one or more \acronym{IP} addresses of ``Domain Name System'' servers. These servers convert standard web addresses (like \url{http://www.ubuntu.com}) into \acronym{IP} addresses such as 91.189.94.156. This step allows your computer to ``find'' the correct web site when you type in the web address you wish to visit. A minimum of one \acronym{DNS} server is required, up to a maximum of three. The additional ones are used in case the first one fails.

If you are adding a connection, you first need to provide a name for the connection so you can distinguish it from any others that are added later. In the ``Connection name'' field, choose a name such as ``Wired connection 1.''
