Depth od field render

Hello guys!
I spent my day searching how to render depth of field in blender render, but I don’t find clear tutorials…
In object mode, I can display the depth of field in object display mode or material display mode, but in render display it doesn’t work. Any ideas?

yeah i heard of that but everything is set… only the render doesn’t shows the focus effect. do i need to add any node? because the defocus node only makes the background defocused.
