Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
DNS Failed is usually and error with your internet connection. Did you buy the wireless hookup for your 360, or are you directly connected?
if you are hooked up wireless you probably don't have it installed right.
If you are hooked up by a cord, be sure your router is giving a signal.

check if its xbox 360 live, if you are running a router rember to port forward, check your internet connections, if in doubt call microsoft and your isp. isp's may have a fault on their proxy server so your phone call may help many others

google "xbox help", "xbox live help", and "xbox dns error". you'll find personal websites, the xbox site, ask.com stuff, and teamxbox, among other things. do some research, you'll be sure to find something.
i'm more of a playstation and pc gal myself ^_^, but i do play some xbox (by-the-by, oddworld rules!! >.> um. yeah. kitty's done...). i haven't played in a while, but if you want i can ask my boyfriend and a couple of my guy-gamer buds about it.
i don't know all the stats of this (in the sense that i'm not standing right there with the xbox and the tv and the connections, etc.), so here's the best i can come up with for right now: "DNS" stands for "domain name system" or "server" or "service", so a DNS error probably means something like the configuration for the internet connections are not right, or that it's not even picking up the internet connection. and, if all else fails, even though it sucks, read the manual. ^_^
again, if you want to email me directly and give me some more info, i can ask around my techie/gamer circle and see what i can dig up. good luck.
