Siemens V4.0 manual Installing Wins Manager, Nbrfcpreload

Implementing WINS Setting Up a WINS Server

2.Install a NetBIOS that supports Advanced Server WINS. (The nbrfc package coming with the Advanced Server 4.0 software supports WINS.)

To ensure compatibility with Microsoft networking components, it is recommended not to change the following NetBIOS related tuning parameters from /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune (for details see section “Configuring NetBIOS Tunable Parameters” ):

●	NBRFCSTATBCAST	should be 0
●	NBRFCWINSREG	should be 1
●	NBRFCPRELOAD	should be 0

3.An Advanced Server running the WINS service (as well as every other WINS server) must be configured with static (not dynamic) IP addresses; they should not be DHCP clients. If your Advanced Server computer is a multihomed computer (a computer having more than one IP address), you have to decide which of the IP addresses shall be used by the WINS server. You do this by editing the NetBIOS configuration file

var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg. The interface to be used by the WINS server is marked

with the line wwN .

For details, see section “The interfaces.cfg file” .

4.On a connected Windows NT Workstation computer,

ÊInstall WINS Manager to be able to fully administer WINS (see below).

ÊUse the wins command to start and stop the WINS service manually from the Advanced Server command prompt.

ÊUse the winsadm command to perform some administrative tasks at the Advanced Server command prompt.

Additional WINS administration can be performed using WINS Manager (see the following sections).

10.3.1 Installing WINS Manager

You can install the WINS Manager on any Windows NT Workstation computer running Version 3.51 or later. WINS Manager software is included with Advanced Server in the ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD share. If WINS is already installed on MS WINDOWS NT Server computer, there is no need to install WINS Manager from the ASTOOLS share. You can then use the existing WINS manager also to administer the Advanced Server for UNIX WINS service, regardless of whether the Windows NT Server computer is running Version 3.51 or a later version.
