IP Resolution Properties Dialog Box
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
Use the IP Resolution Properties dialog box to specify how the IP Resolution DTS task should resolve Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from the imported user data. IP resolution converts IP addresses, imported from your log files, into domain names. For example, 198.105.232.4 becomes www.microsoft.com. This helps readers of your reports understand the data in the reports more easily.

Data warehouse |
Select from the drop-down list the data warehouse for which Commerce Server will perform IP resolution. |
Local domain name |
Type the local domain name of the Domain Name System (DNS) that you want to use as the primary server to use to resolve IP addresses. |

Full lookup |
Select to resolve all IP addresses. |
