DNS:
Domain Name System is a database system that translates ad-
dresses and domain names. For example, a numeric address like
232.245.021.54 can become something like cba.com. DNS can also
be used to control Internet email delivery.
WINS:
In Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755, Windows Internet Naming Ser-
vice has two functions; one is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that
eliminates the broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP
addresses by providing a cache or database of translations. The
other one is to set the IP address of the host computer that you
already construct the partnership for Network adapter Active sync
purpose.
Without setting the host computer's IP address in the WINS, you
cannot wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC with your host com-
puter.
Alt DNS:
Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System. Used to sub-
stitute main DNS when necessary.
Alt WINS:
Alt WINS stands for Alternative Windows Internet Naming Service.
