Purpose
A server handles host names by
assigning host names to IP
addresses. Devices have a host
name registered with the WINS
server.
Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) is a system that determines
the IP address associated with a
particular network computer. This is
called name resolution. WINS
supports network client and server
computers running Windows and
can provide name resolution for
other computers with special
arrangements.
Registers the host name with the
DNS server. Enables name
resolution for the e-mail server, FTP,
and other host name entries.
Domain Name System (or Domain
Name Service) [DNS] is an Internet
service that translates domain
names into IP addresses. Domain
names are alphabetic; therefore,
they are easier to remember. The
Internet is really based on IP
addresses. Each time a domain
name is used, a DNS service must
translate the name into the
corresponding IP address.
This is used if the DNS Server
Address is not available.
Defines the search order of the
domains.
Defines a limited number of IP
addresses.
Defines the range of the
communication type.
