DNS:

Domain Name System is a database system that translates addressed and domain names. For example, the numeric address (such as 232.245.21.54) becomes something such as cba.com. DNS can also be used to control Internet email delivery.

WINS:

The Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 Windows Internet Naming Service has two functions; one is a Microsoft NetBIOS name server that eliminates the broadcast needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by provid- ing a cache or database of translations. The other one is to set the IP address of the host computer that you already construct the partnership

for network adapter ActiveSync purpose.

NOTE	Without setting the host computer's IP address in the
	WINS, you cannot wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC
	with your host computer.
