You need to make sure 'Automatically Retrieve DNS' is checked also,
otherwise you must supply the IP addresses of the ISPs DNS servers
yourself.
Retrieving the addresses automatically is the preferred method, since
you then know that you always have the current addresses for the ISP's
DNS servers.
Having said that, for most ISPs it's fine to specify the DNS servers
manually (i.e. leaving "Automatically Retrieve DNS" unchecked and enter
the addresses in the First/Second boxes below), but of course you need
to have the addresses first. They're usually listed somewhere on the
ISP's website, they should also have been listed in the initial
documentation you received from the ISP after signing up for service.
