The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each
communication carries the address of the source and destination networks and the
particular machine within the network associated with the user or host computer at each
end. This address is called the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the
IP network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier
and a host identifier. Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal
value of each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.
Most TCP/IP networks use subnets to manage routed IP addresses. Dividing an
organization's network into subnets allows it to connect to the Internet with a single shared
network address, for example, 255.255.255.0.

The default gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote destination.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS
translates domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet email delivery. Most
Internet services require DNS to operate properly. If DNS is not configured, Web sites
cannot be located and/or email delivery fails.

WINS is a Microsoft Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to
resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of
translations.
