Implementing WINS Using WINS Manager

Static NetBIOS name mappings can be any of the types listed in the following table.

Type option	Description
Unique	A unique name that maps to a single IP address. Contrast
	with multihomed type.
Group	Also referred to as a “Normal Group.” When adding an entry
	to Group using WINS Manager, you must enter the computer
	name and IP address.
	However, the IP addresses of individual members of Group
	are not stored in the WINS database. Because member
	addresses are not stored, there is no limit to the number of
	members that can be added to a Group.
	Broadcast name packets are used to communicate with
	Group members. Contrast with Internet group type.
Domain	A NetBIOS name-to-IP address mapping that has 0x1C as
	the 16th byte. A domain group stores up to a maximum of 25
	addresses for members. For registrations after the 25 th
	address, WINS overwrites a replica address or, if none is
	present, it overwrites the oldest registration.

i

In Windows NT 3.51, the "Domain" name type was called "Internet group". With Windows NT 4.0, the "Internet group" type has been generalized to include not only group names ending with 0x1C, see below.

Internet group	Internet groups are user-defined groups that allow you to
	classify resources such as printers for easy reference and
	browsing. The default 16th byte of an Internet group name is
	set equal to 0x20. An Internet group can store up to a
	maximum of 25 addresses for members.
	Internet group members can be added as the result of
	dynamic group registrations. However, a dynamic member
	does not replace a static member that is added by using
	WINS Manager or by importing the LMHOSTS file. Contrast
	with Group type.
Multihomed	A unique name that can have more than one address. This is
	used for multihomed computers. The maximum number of
	addresses that can be registered as multihomed is 25. For
	registrations after the 25th address, WINS overwrites a replica
	address or, if none is present, it overwrites the oldest
	registration. Contrast with Unique type.
