Configuring WINS
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a name resolution service that associates a NetBIOS name (a computer or printer name in an SMB network) with an IP address. To enable WINS, the WINS server must be specified.

The function is not available in an IPv6 network.

The machine's NetBIOS name will be registered to the WINS server as "letters Canon followed by the last six digits of the MAC address," and its work group name, as "WORKGROUP."
