Exercise 9.13: Configuring a WINS Proxy Agent

In exercise 9.13, you configure a Windows NT 4.0 computer to be a WINS proxy agent. In prior versions of Windows NT, configuring a computer to be a proxy agent was done through a check box in the advanced settings of TCP/IP. This is how Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups machines are configured to be a proxy agent. However, this check box was removed in NT 4.0, so you must now go to the registry to configure a proxy agent.

Prerequisites:	You have installed WINS on a Windows NT 4.0 Server.
1.	Choose Start, Run.
2.	Type REGEDT32, then choose OK.
3.	In the window, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, walk down the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters
4.	Notice the parameter called EnableProxy. To make this NT computer into a WINS proxy agent, you must change the value of this parameter to 1 and reboot the computer. However, because the computer you are working on is most likely your WINS server, and because you shouldn’t have a proxy agent and a WINS server on the same machine, don’t set the parameter.

Close the registry editor.
