`Windows NT Advanced Server
`

`
`Windows NT Advanced Server 11.. A superset of Win-
`dows NT that provides centralized, domain-based
`network management and security. Windows NT Ad-
`vanced Server also offers advanced hard disk fault-
`tolerance features, such as mirroring and additional
`connectivity. See also Windows NT.
`Windows Open Services Architecture n. See WOSA.
`Windows Open System Architecture n. See WOSA.
`Windows sockets n. See Winsock..
`
`Windows terminal n. A thin-client solution from
`Microsoft, designed to enable terminals and mini-
`mally configured computers to display Windows ap-
`plications even if they are not, in themselves, capable
`of running Windows software. Windows terminals
`work in conjunction with Windows NT Server, Ter-
`minal Server edition. See also thin client.
`
`WinG n. Short for Windows Games. An application
`programming interface for games in the Windows 9x
`environment. Under WinG, games can access the
`Video frame buffer directly for increased speed. See
`also application programming interface, buffer‘,
`frame buffer.
`‘
`
`win.ini n. In Windows 3.x and MS-DOS, the initial-
`ization file used to pass the program configuration
`information necessary to run the Windows operating
`environment. The win.ini file has been supplanted by
`the Registry database in Windows 95 and in Windows
`NT. See also configuration file, ini file, Registry.
`
`Winipcfg n. Acronym for Windows IP Configuration.
`A Windows 9): utility that enables users to access
`information about their TCP/IP (Transmission Con-
`trol Protocol/Internet Protocol) and network adapter
`card settings. Running the Winipcfg program
`(winipefg.exe) opens the IP Configuration window,
`which reveals the physical address, IP address,
`subnet mask, and default gateway settings of the pri-
`mary TCP/IP adapter (or settings of multiple adapters
`if more than one is installed). This information is
`also helpful for troubleshooting. See also TCP/IP.
`WINS n. Acronym for Windows Internet Naming
`Service. A Windows NT Server method for associat-
`ing a computer’s host name with its address. Also
`called INS, Internet Naming Service. Compare DNS
`(definition 1).
`Winsock n_. Short for Windows Sockets. An applica-
`tion programming interface standard for software
`that provides a TCP/IP interface under Windows. The
`
`Winsock standard developed out of 21 Birds of a
`Feather (BOF) discussion that arose among software
`vendors at a UNIX conference in 1991; it has gained
`the general support of software developers, including
`Microsoft. See also application programming inter-
`face, BOF, socket (definition 1), TCP/IP.
`
`Wintel adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a
`computer that uses the Microsoft Windows operating
`system and an Intel central processing unit (CPU).
`See also Windows.
`
`wired adj. 1. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an
`electronic circuit or hardware grouping in which the
`configuration is determined by the physical intercon-
`nection of the components (as opposed to being pro-
`grammable in software or alterable by a switch). See
`also hardwired (definition 1). 2. Knowledgeable
`about Internet resources, systems, and culture. 3.
`Having access to the I11ternet.
`
`wire-frame model n. In computer graphics applica-
`tions such as CAD programs, a representation of a
`three—dimensional object using separate lines that
`resemble strands of wire joined to create a model.
`Compare solid model, surface modeling.
`wireless adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of
`communications that take place without the use of
`interconnecting wires or cables, such as by radio,
`microwave, or infrared.
`
`Wireless Application Protocol n. A standard for pro-
`viding Internet access and other data-based services,
`such as e-mail, electronic transactions, news, and
`weather reports, over wireless networks. The Wire-
`less Application Protocol, or WAP, is designed to
`provide such services to digital mobile telephones
`and other wireless terminals. Just as the TCP/IP stan-
`dards make it possible for many different kinds of
`computer equipment to communicate through the
`Internet, the WAP specification is intended to work
`across different types of wireless network. The found-
`ing members of the WAP forum, which introduced the
`WAP specification in 1998, are L.M. Ericsson, Motor-
`ola, Nokia, and Unwired Planet. Acronym: WAP.
`
`wireless LAN n. A LAN (local area network) that
`sends and receives data via radio, infrared optical sig-
`naling, or some other technology that does not require
`a physical connection between individual nodes and
`the hub. Wireless LANs are often used in office or
`factory settings _where a user must carry a portable
`computer from place to place. Also called WLAN.
