DNS:
Domain Name System is a database system that translates addressed
and domain names. For example, the numeric address (such as
232.245.21.54) becomes something such as
cba.com
. DNS can also be
used to control Internet email delivery.
WINS:
The Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 Windows Internet Naming Service has
two functions; one is a Microsoft NetBIOS name server that eliminates the
broadcast needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by provid-
ing 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 ActiveSync purpose.
Alt DNS:
Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System, which is used to
substitute for the main DNS when necessary.
Alt WINS:
Alt WINS stands for Alternative Windows Internet Naming Service, which
is used to substitute for the main WINS when necessary.
Without setting the host computer's IP address in the
WINS, you cannot wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC
with your host computer.
