ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition User Guide
Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS Pro 2-5
v1.0, December 2008
Static option, you can manually specify the IP addresses of the DNS servers and the domain name
here.
WINS
The WINS option allows you to specify the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming
Service) server. A WINS server is typically a Windows server on the network that allows the
ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition or other devices on the network to be browsed from other subnets.
If you do not have an existing WINS server, you can designate the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition
to be one. Simply select the Become a WINS server check box, and configure your Windows PC
to specify the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition IP address as the WINS server. This can be useful if
you wish to browse by hostname across multiple subnets (for example, over VPN).
DHCP
The DHCP tab allows you to specify this device as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server. DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP
addresses to new clients on the network.
