Domain Name Server Section

The Domain Name Server [DNS] section of the RtxTcpIp INI file is used to configure DNS support for RT-TCP/IP. This section is optional and supports up to 3 Domain Name servers that will be searched in the order 1 to 3. Both the Server IP Address and Port Address must be specified for each server. The Port Address is typically 53, but may differ for your LAN.
