Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX

Configuring NetBIOS

To view the current WINS client configuration:

ÊAt the command prompt, type nbtstat -w

Example of /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/wins.cfg:

#########################################################################

#WINS client configuration file for nbrfc

#########################################################################

#delete old WINS entries from old configurations /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/delwins -s > /dev/null 2>&1 /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/delwins -p > /dev/null 2>&1

#uncomment the line and add the IP address to configure a primary WINS /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/addwins -p 144.145.16.26

#uncomment the line and add the IP address to configure a secondary WINS /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/addwins -s 144.155.17.199

WINS servers configured in the wins.cfg file are not only used for name resolution, but also for name registration, name renewal and name release.

Be sure to have the NetBIOS tuning parameter NBRFCWINSREG set to 1 if you want Advanced Server for UNIX to register names with WINS servers.

If the local machine is running the Advanced Server for UNIX 4.0 WINS service, it is recommended to configure both primary and secondary WINS to point to this WINS, i.e. to the local machine.
