Implementing WINS Using the wins command

To install WINS Manager

ÊFrom a Windows NT Workstation computer, log on to the domain in which your Advanced Server is configured.

ÊEstablish a connection to the ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD share on Advanced Server.

ÊSelect the directory that corresponds with the version of Windows NT Workstation that your computer is running.

ÊDouble-click on SETUP.BAT.

The SETUP.BAT script automatically installs workstation-based network administrative tools, including WINS Manager.

You then can add WINS Manager to the Administrative Tools (Common) Programs group.

10.4 Using the wins command

In an Advanced Server for UNIX networking environment, the availability of the WINS service can become an important aspect. Therefore, unlike other services within Advanced Server, the WINS Service is to some degree able to run independent of all other services, although there are some restrictions concerning administration.

You can start and stop the WINS server manually from the Advanced Server command prompt by using the wins command. This command can be used any time, regardless of whether Advanced Server - the SERVER service - is running or not.

ÊUse wins start to start the WINS service.

ÊUse wins stop to stop the WINS service.

ÊUse wins status to display a list of processes that are important for the WINS service. Sample output of wins status:

AS/X WINS / NetBIOS processes:
UID	PID	PPID C	STIME		TTY	TIME	CMD
root	857	1 0	Sep 12		?	0:16	./lmx.wins
root	14109	1 0	Sep	12	?	0:05	nbrfcdaemon -f20 -l2
root	862	1 0	Sep	12	?	0:01	/var/opt/lanman/bin/lmx.ep

NetBIOS is connected to the local WINS server running on 144.145.179.150
