packets , each of which contains data about the destination host. On the basis
of the entries in the so-called Routing Table (see "Creating a Routing Entry",
page 175 ), the router decides which route to use to forward the data packet to

If you do not have a Secondary DNS or WINS server, you can enter the IP
address of the Primary DNS or WINS server in the Secondary Domain Name
Server or Secondary WINS field again.
This may be necessary for connection to some data communications clients.
If you do not have a Domain Name Server in your LAN (smaller networks often

If you work with Windows, you can also obtain name resolution without asking
for a DNS. To do this, you must adapt the LMHOSTS file on all PCs in the LAN.
