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 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.

G/W

The default gateway forwards 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 services 
require 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.
