(2) If your network does not use DHCP, you should enter the IP ad-
dress, subnet mask, gateway and DNS (or WINS).
IP Address is Internet Protocol Address; a numeric address such
as 10.37.238.100 that the domain name server translates into a
domain name. Each node on the IP network should have a unique
IP address.
Subnet mask is a number used to identify a subnetwork when
multiple networks share one IP address. For example
255.255.255.0Gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to
and from a remote destination.
DNS stands for Domain Name System, a database system, which
translates addresses and domain names. For example, a nu-
meric address like 232.245.021.54 can become something like
cba.com.
WINS stands for Windows Internet Naming Service which has
two functions; one is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that elimi-
nates 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.
