WINS

A Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server allows the ReadyNAS or other devices
on the network to be browsed from other subnets. This is useful if you want to browse by
hostname across multiple subnets (for example, over VPN.
You can specify the WINS server IP address, or make the ReadyNAS your WINS server.

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service simplifies management of a network by
dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on the network. The DHCP screen allows
you to specify your ReadyNAS as a DHCP server.
Select the Enable DHCP service check box to make the ReadyNAS device act as a DHCP
server. This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available.
WARNING!
These options are available only if the device is not already using
a DHCP address. Enabling DHCP service on a network already
utilizing another DHCP server will result in conflicts. If you want to
use this device as a DHCP server, make sure to specify static
addresses in the Ethernet and DNS tabs.
