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.
To register the WINS server on the machine, set [Computer Name/Workgroup Name Settings]. Specifying the Computer Name and the Workgroup Name
If you deselect the check box of [Use NetBIOS] in [Computer Name/Workgroup Name Settings], the WINS setting is disabled. Make sure to select the check box of [Use NetBIOS] when using WINS.
The function is not available in an IPv6 network.
