DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is used mostly to translate domain names and IP addresses. It is also used to control Internet email delivery.

WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of translations. Tap Next. The Transmit Power dialog box displays. Transmit Power The transmit power can be selected for both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure network types. The Transmit Power drop-down list contains different options for each mode. Automatic (i.e. use the current AP settings) and Power Plus (use higher than the current AP settings) are available for Infrastructure mode. Adjusting the Radio Transmission Power level enables the user to expand or confine the transmission area with respect to other wireless devices that could be operating nearby. Reducing a coverage area in high traffic areas improves transmission quality by reducing the amount of interference in that coverage area.
