in NetBIOS and FrameScope protocols. The name defaults to
‘FRSCOPE’ plus the last 6 hexadecimal digits of the MAC
Address. It may be changed to any name desired.

WINS servers to convert the name to an IP address. The DNS

be used in preference to the DHCP supplied values. When
satisfied with all the settings, press Next to get the third
