2. Install a NetBIOS that supports Advanced Server WINS. (The nbrfc package coming
with the Advanced Server 4.0 software supports WINS.)
To ensure compatibility with Microsoft networking components, it is recommended not
to change the following NetBIOS related tuning parameters from
/etc/conf/cf.d/mtune (for
details see section “Configuring NetBIOS Tunable Parameters” ):
● NBRFCSTATBCAST should be 0
● NBRFCWINSREG should be 1
● NBRFCPRELOAD should be 0
3. An Advanced Server running the WINS service (as well as every other WINS server)
must be configured with static (not dynamic) IP addresses; they should not be DHCP
clients. If your Advanced Server computer is a multihomed computer (a computer
having more than one IP address), you have to decide which of the IP addresses shall
be used by the WINS server. You do this by editing the NetBIOS configuration file
var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg . The interface to be used by the WINS server is marked
with the line used_by_wins=yes .
For details, see section “The interfaces.cfg file” .
4. On a connected Windows NT Workstation computer,
Ê Install WINS Manager to be able to fully administer WINS (see below).
Ê Use the wins command to start and stop the WINS service manually from the
Advanced Server command prompt.
Ê Use the winsadm command to perform some administrative tasks at the Advanced
Server command prompt.
Additional WINS administration can be performed using WINS Manager (see the
following sections).
10.3.1 Installing WINS Manager
You can install the WINS Manager on any Windows NT Workstation computer running
Version 3.51 or later. WINS Manager software is included with Advanced Server in the
ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD share. If WINS is already installed on MS WINDOWS NT Server
computer, there is no need to install WINS Manager from the ASTOOLS share. You can
then use the existing WINS manager also to administer the Advanced Server for UNIX
WINS service, regardless of whether the Windows NT Server computer is running Version
3.51 or a later version.
