DNS numbers simply stand for Domain Name Server. Basically they are what tell your dreamcast that.....www.onlineconsoles.com....has an IP address and what webserver to speak with in order to interact with this website.

Some people have been known to not be able to get the Quake 3 server listing. Question, have you been able to get Quake 3 online atleast? It just doesn't bring up the serverlist....correct?

As was pointed out in another thread, some people have trouble detecting servers if they have DNS settings going. Just delete them, you'll still connect just fine, and you'll finally be able to see the servers.

This happened to me, actually. I have my ISP's default DNS settings in, and got the "couldn't connect to master server" warning. I deleted the DNS settings, and immediatly upon connecting again, got 11 servers right off.

I don't know why the DNS settings even matter to Quake 3, I think it might have to do with how it originally connected to SegaNet, but thats an uninformed guess on my part, I'd have to know more about it.
