DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) 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 e830W Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) 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
functions is to set the IP address of the host PC to function properly with
the ActiveSync network adapter.
Alt DNS
Alternative Domain Name System (Alt DNS) is used to substitute for the
main DNS when necessary.
Your Toshiba Pocket PC e830W cannot synchronize with
your host PC without setting the IP address in WINS.
