[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] WINS Question
Often true, but not always. Some of us have networks with more NT servers than just PDCs and BDCs, and some of those NT servers are involved in handling the browse list (sometimes intentionally, often not). In addition, WINS can still be clunky over VPNs if you have limited bandwidth, and even when you've got contact with the browse masters you can still bump into weirdness. I see this issue over dialup all the time. And since it's flaky, it also happens to make a great excuse for telling clients to get all the files they want to share onto the servers, rather than continuing to try to make the "I should be able to see directories on any of my staff's Win98 workstations over the VPN while on a plane 20,000 feet in the air over a GTE airfone connection" scenario work... heh :) -----Original Message----- From: Reed Mohn, Anders [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] WINS Question > If you're talking about access to specific boxes (servers), an LMHOSTS > file should do the trick.

All you need in the LMHOSTS-file is the adresss of the master browser(s), in effect, this means the PDC and the BDC's. not every single machine you want to see.
