• DNS (Domain Name System)
This is a database system that translates IP addresses to domain names. For
example, an IP address like 232.245.021.54 can correspond to the domain
name http://jtl.com. This system is also used to control Internet email delivery.
• Alt DNS (Alternative DNS)
Used to substitute the main DNS when necessary.
• WINS (Windows
TM
Internet Naming Service)
This service has two functions. First, the Microsoft
®
Net BIO name server
eliminates the broadcasts needed to resolve the computer names to IP
addresses by providing a cache or database of translations. The other
function sets the IP address of the host computer you used when you set up
the wireless utility for wireless ActiveSync operation.
NOTE: You need to set the IP address of the host computer to perform wireless
synchronisation between your handheld and your host computer.
• Alt WINS (Alternative WINS)
Used to substitute the main WINS when necessary.
