dns_server2: the IP address of the secondary DNS server

Returns

Nothing

Example

This example shows how to set the Google DNS (8.8.8.8). You can set it as an object IPAddress.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi101.h> // the IP address for the shield:
IPAddress dns( 8 , 8 , 8 , 8 ) ;  //Google dns   char ssid[ ] = "yourNetwork" ;    // your network SSID (name)
char pass[ ] = "secretPassword" ; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP) int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; void setup ( )
{  
  // Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ;
  while ( ! Serial ) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
  }   // check for the presence of the shield:
  if (WiFi.status ( ) == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
    Serial.println ( "WiFi shield not present" ) ;
    while ( true ) ;  // don't continue
  }   // attempt to connect to Wifi network:
  while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print ( "Attempting to connect to SSID: " ) ;
    Serial.println (ssid) ;
    // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:    
    status = WiFi.begin (ssid, pass) ;     // wait 10 seconds for connection:
    delay ( 10000 ) ;
  }   // print your WiFi shield's IP address:
  WiFi.setDNS (dns) ;
  Serial.print ( "Dns configured." ) ;
} void loop ( ) {
}
