Field Description

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 that is 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 in order to effectively manage routed IP addresses.

Having an organization's network divided into subnets allows it to be connected to the

Internet with a single shared network address, for example, 255.255.255.0.

Gateway The default gateway is a device that is used to forward IP packets to and from a remote

destination.

DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is used

mostly to translate domain names and IP addresses. It is also used to control Internet email

delivery. Most Internet service requires DNS to operate properly. 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.
