DNS stands for Domain Name Server, sites can't be accessed by just like www.yahoo.com, this name goes through a DNS and looks it up to get the real ip like "69.147.114.224" (try copy and paste this ip to your browser and it will go to yahoo) If the DNS fails to retrieve the site's ip, it won't be able to access the site and you will get an error.
