Re: [FW-1] WINS Question



If you're talking about access to specific boxes (servers), an LMHOSTS file
should do the trick.  On the other hand, if you want to be able to see an
ungodly number of boxes, WINS is the only real option.

What I've done at times is set up an LMHOSTS file for the servers, but kept
the WINS pointers intact as in your setup.  The LMHOSTS file facilitates
initial (and critical) NBT communications, and the WINS queries (usually)
catch up... Sooner or later.

I should also clarify that if you do have an MTU issue, the browsing problem
is not your only worry.  If you can get reliable and working NBT
communication (for me, "reliable" means LMHOSTS-facilitated) yet you have
network and/or share browsing issues or file-transferring issues, you have
an MTU issue on your hands.
