Setting the WINS Server

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a service used for associating a NetBIOS name (a name of a computer or a printer on a SMB network) with an IP address. You need a WINS server to use WINS.
NOTE
When using the IP address settings specified by DHCP
When you obtain the WINS server IP address from the DHCP server, the IP address obtained from the DHCP server is overwritten.
The scan function is not available in the IPv6 environment.
Use it in the IPv4 environment.
