How To Find My DNS on a Mac
Macs use Domain Name Service (DNS) in order to locate and navigate to websites for Internet browsing. Most Mac users never need to configure DNS on their own; as with most Mac processes, Apple handles the technical details. Still, you may be asked by your Internet provider to locate your DNS information, which can be found within your System Preferences.
Instructions
Difficulty:
Step 1

Step 2
Click the "Network" icon.
Step 3
Click on your current Internet connection. You can tell which one is currently running by seeing which connection has a green dot next to its name.
Step 4
Click "Advanced" in the lower-right corner of the menu.
Step 5
Choose the "DNS" option in the Advanced window. Your DNS system servers are listed on the left side of the window.
