# Forward & Reverse Resolution

## **What is Forward Resolution?**

Forward resolution is the process of going **from name to address**. As well as to load the records associated to a name. These records include but are not limited to text records such as **bios, X handle**, **email**, **Discord ID**, and more. See [set-ens-records](https://docs.my.box/docs/configure-your-.box/configure-ens/set-ens-records "mention").\
\
Multiple names can point to a single address.

**How do I set Forward Resolution with .box domains?**

Currently, all .box domains are automatically set to forward to the wallet that holds the domain NFT. But, you can set an alternative Forward Resolution address manually if you so choose:

1. Go to **My Domains** -> Select a domain -> Navigate to the **ENS** tab.
2. Replace the wallet address in the **Forward Resolution Address** field.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Save.**
4. Complete the **Set ENS records** transaction.

Note: This transaction is executed on the Ethereum Mainnet network, where gas fees can reach $10+ so, make sure your wallet has enough Ethereum to settle that transaction.&#x20;

## What is Reverse Resolution? <a href="#reverse-resolution" id="reverse-resolution"></a>

Conversely, reverse resolution is the process of mapping an Ethereum wallet address back to a human-readable domain name.

**How do I set Reverse Resolution with .box domains?**

Reverse resolution is the same thing as setting your Primary ENS Name. Learn how here:[set-primary-ens-name](https://docs.my.box/docs/configure-your-.box/configure-ens/set-primary-ens-name "mention").
