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 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 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 ActiveSync purpose.
Alt DNS:
Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System, which is used to
substitute for the main DNS when necessary.
Without setting the host computer's IP address in the WINS, you cannot
wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC with your host computer.
