Configuring a Client for WINS

To manually configure a WINS client, you specify the WINS server address as part of the TCP/IP configuration. Open the TCP/IP properties in the Protocol tab of the Network Properties dialog (opened with Control Panel, Network). Select the WINS tab in the TCP/IP properties dialog and simply specify the address of a primary WINS server. If you are using a secondary WINS server, you should also type in the IP address of the secondary WINS server.

You can also specify the address of a secondary WINS server. Figure 9.1 shows a client with manually configured WINS addresses.

To configure a DHCP client to be a WINS client, you must add two properties to the DHCP scope created on the DHCP server. Installing and configuring DHCP is described in chapter 7. Under the DHCP scope options, add the following parameters:

044 WINS/NBNS Servers. Configure this with the address of the primary WINS server and a secondary WINS server, if desired.
046 WINS/NBT Node. By default, this is set to 2, a b-node broadcast. WINS clients use h-node broadcasts, so you must change the value of the this parameter to 8. Figure 9.2 shows these options added to a DCHP scope.
