NETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide

DNS Settings

The DNS area allows you to specify up to three Domain Name Service servers for hostname resolution. The DNS service translates host names into IP addresses.

If you selected the DHCP option in the Ethernet or Wireless tab, the Domain Name Server fields are automatically populated with the DNS settings from your DHCP server. If you selected the 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 or other devices on the network to be browsed from other subnets.

Figure 1-10

If you do not have an existing WINS server, you can designate the ReadyNAS to be one. Simply select the Become a WINS server check box, and configure your Windows PC to specify the ReadyNAS IP address as the WINS server. This can be useful if you wish to browse by hostname across multiple subnets (for example, over VPN).
