Setting DNS Server
If your network has a DNS server, you can take advantage of the DNS Dynamic Update function. Follow the procedure below to configure the settings for the DNS server.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
Changes made to DNS Server settings become effective when the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, turn it OFF, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn it ON. For instructions on how to turn the machine ON and OFF, see Chapter 2, “Before You Start Using the Machine,” in the User’s Guide.

If your environment includes a dynamic DNS server and you want to automatically register the IPv4 address, host name, and domain name set for the machine in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating, press [On].
Otherwise, press [Off].
IMPORTANT:
The DNS dynamic update function enables the machine to register the IP address, host name, and domain name of the machine to the DNS server automatically. This function is available in environments with a dynamic DNS server.
To use the DNS dynamic update function, enter the IP address of the DNS server, the host name, and the domain name of this machine.
NOTE:
If you have a DHCP server running Windows 2000 Server that uses the DHCP service and want to register the machine’s DNS record, configure the following settings in the DHCP server:
Under the DHCP server, right-click the [Scope] icon → click [Properties]. In the [DNS] sheet of the displayed dialog box, select [Automatically update DHCP client information in DNS] → [Update DNS only if DHCP client requests].
If you have a DHCP server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 that uses the DHCP service and want to register the machine’s DNS record, configure the following settings in the DHCP server:
Under the DHCP server, right-click the [Scope] icon → click [Properties]. In the [DNS] sheet of the displayed dialog box, select [Enable DNS dynamic updates according to the settings below] → [Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP clients].
