osx network settings

hi guys,
just been flicking through the network settings in osx and i notices under the built-in ethernet tab the following..

under the tcp/ip tab was entered DNS settings of 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2. I have absolutely no idea why these are set up or where I got them from. I think I must have set those at the start for some reason but now I am wondering why on earth they were set. Surely they should just be blank?

If it works, who cares?

the thing is it seems to work better when i delete the dns entries and leave it blank!

Will check out the link. Cheers

Delete it if it works better, can't see it doing any harm.

I just have no idea why it was set in the first place so was just more curious as to why it was set rather than whether i need it set or not!

It would seem like it is something that would be set in my router config rather than on the machine itself
