IP Address The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with
each other. Each communication carries the address of the source and
destination networks and the particular machine within the network
associated with the user or host computer at each end. This address is called
the
IP Address
(Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP network
must be assigned a unique IP address made up of a network identifier and a
host identifier. Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the
decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example,
192.168.7.27.
Subnet Mask Most TCP/IP networks use subnets to manage routed IP addresses. Dividing
an organization's network into subnets allows it to connect to the Internet with
a single shared network address, for example, 255.255.255.0.
Gateway The default gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to and from a
remote destination.
DNS The
Domain Name System
(DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service.
DNS translates domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet email
delivery. Most Internet service requires DNS. For example, if DNS is not
configured, Web sites cannot be located and/or email delivery fails.
WINS
WINS
is a Microsoft
®
Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts
needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or
database of translations.
NOTE
