Additional Information
Subnet mask is a number used to identify a subnetwork when
multiple networks share one IP address. For example
255.255.255.0Gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to
and from a remote destination.
DNS stands for Domain Name System, a database system,
which translates addresses and domain names. For example, a
numeric address like 232.245.021.54 can become something like
cba.com.
WINS stands for Windows Internet Naming Service which 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 adapter Active
sync purpose.
To set IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway, click Start,
Settings, Connections, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN
Adapter, Properties, IP Address. To set DNS or WINS (Windows
Internet Naming Service), click Start, Settings, Connections,
Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, Properties,
Name Servers.
