First, when the DHCP and Virtual Passage clients receive dynamic IP addresses from the Router, it automatically includes the information of the WINS server to support NetBIOS. Second, if a user sets up a static IP address, then the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server settings must be configured on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) screen of the Windows operating system. Then the WINS IP address must be configured on the advanced TCP/IP screen. (For more information, refer to Windows Help.)
