ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition User Manual Static option, you can manually specify the IP addresses of the DNS servers and the domain name here. WINS The WINS option allows you to specify the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server. A WINS server is typically a Windows server on the network that allows the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition or other devices on the network to be browsed from other subnets. Figure 2-9 If you do not have an existing WINS server, you can designate the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition to be one. Simply select the Become a WINS server check box, and configure your Windows PC to specify the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition IP address as the WINS server. This can be useful if you wish to browse by hostname across multiple subnets (for example, over VPN). DHCP The DHCP tab allows you to specify this device as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on the network. Figure 2-10 Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS NVX 2-7 v1.1, February 2009
