Note: The purpose of this property page is to allow
you to enter the addresses of EXTERNAL
WINS servers. The MaxAttach does not
contain a WINS server.
WINS-enabled clients are computers that can be
configured to make direct use of a WINS server.
Most WINS clients typically have more than one
NetBIOS name that they must register for use with
the network. These names are used to publish
various types of network service, such as the
Messenger or Workstation Service, that each
computer can use in various ways to communicate
with other computers on the network.
WINS-enabled clients communicate with the WINS
server to:
Register client names in the WINS database.
Renew client names with the WINS database.
Release client names from the WINS database.
Resolve names by obtaining mappings from the
WINS database for user names, NetBIOS names,
DNS names, and IP addresses.
Clients that are not WINS-enabled can use WINS
proxies to participate in these processes in a limited
way. If you are using a DHCP server to allocate
WINS server IP addresses, you do not need to add
WINS server addresses.
Keep in mind that the Web UI only allows you to
manipulate two WINS addresses, and even then only
if you statically assign the IP address for the adapter.
If you have DHCP enabled, you can remove one or
two existing addresses and add different addresses, but
you will not be able to remove all WINS servers
