AirPort Base Station: Enter DNS Information During Setup

When configuring your AirPort Base Station, you must enter the Domain Name Server (DNS) information in the TCP/IP control panel, as shown in the graphic below.

Typically, your Internet service provider (ISP) will supply you with the appropriate DNS information to enter during the setup process for the AirPort Base Station. If you do not enter the DNS information, you may not have full access to the Internet.

If you did not enter the DNS information while in the setup assistant, you need only open the TCP/IP control panel and enter it there and then run the AirPort Setup Assistant. Figure 1 shows an example of the PPP section of the TCP/IP control panel.

Note: This information can also be entered during setup of your Base Station using the AirPort Setup Assistant.

Note: Wireless Internet access requires an Internet service provider (fees may apply) and AirPort (or AirPort-compatible) wireless Ethernet card and base station. Some ISPs are not compatible with AirPort. For more information, see technical document 106590: "AirPort: Requirements for Wireless Internet Access"
