It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

If you don't have your own DNS server then you can use 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (google) or 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 (opendns) or some combination thereof.

Judging by the photograph, you're asking how to get the addresses of some valid DNS servers to put into your networking config.

If that's so, the first step is to ask your local network administrator. Failing that, google are quite well-known to run a couple of free, public name servers on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4; try those. But not until you've asked your network admin what the right values are.
