DNS (Domain Name System) is a database system that trans-
lates addresses and domain names. For example, a numeric
address like 232.245.021.54 can become something like
cba.com.
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) has two functions; one
is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that eliminates the broad-
casts needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by pro-
viding a cache or database of translations. The other function is
to set the host PC IP address of the previously constructed Net-
work adapter Active Sync partnership.
To set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway, tap Start, Set-
tings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters,
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, then IP Address. To set the DNS
or WINS, tap Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards,
Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, then Name
Servers.

D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?
SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the
Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field.
For the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as
the Access Point been connected with. To create an 802.11 Ad Hoc
Network, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the
wireless communication within the local area network.
