LevelOne FNS-5000B manual Microsoft Networking, Wins server, Domain Master

3.4.2. Microsoft Networking

Enable file service for Microsoft networking: If you are using Microsoft Windows, enable this service to access the files on network share folders. Assign a workgroup name.

9Standalone Server

Use local users for user authentication.

9WINS server

If the local network has a WINS server installed, specify the IP address. FNS-5000B will automatically register its name and IP address with WINS service. If you do not want to enable WINS server support, or you do not have a WINS server on your network, enter 0.0.0.0 in the field for WINS server IP address.

9Domain Master

There is a unique Domain Master Browser for collecting and recording resources and services available for each PC in the network or workgroup of Windows. When a domain master browser (Windows 2000 / XP PC) exists already in the network, there is no need to configure FNS-5000B as the domain master.

When you find the waiting time for accessing Network Neighborhood too long, it may be caused by failure of an existing master browser, or there is no master browser in the network. If there is no master browser in your network, you can check the box Domain Master in this section to configure FNS-5000B as the master browser to enhance the speed of accessing information on Network Neighborhood.
