DNS: Domain Name System is a database system that translates
addresses 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 Pocket PC, Windows Internet Naming Service 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 adaptor Active sync purpose.
Without setting the host computer's IP address in the WINS, you cannot
wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC with your host computer.
■
Alt DNS: Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System. Used
to substitute main DNS when necessary.
■
Alt WINS: Alt WINS stands for Alternative Windows Internet Naming
Service. Used to substitute main WINS when necessary.
