The WINS Tab

By adding the IP addresses of WINS servers in the WINS tab, shown in Figure 3.9, you specify that those servers be used in order to resolve a NetBIOS name to an IP address. The order can
be adjusted after address entry.

On this tab, you can enable the use of the local LMHOSTS file in the %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc folder of the Windows 2000 family of operating systems. You can also make choices

concerning the use of NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Note:

For the value of variables, such as %SystemRoot%, execute the set command from a command prompt on your Microsoft Windows machine.
