Ah,......not sure how to answer the 1st question. It is an Intel dual P3-1G machine running Windows 2000 Server. I do not think I use it as an FTP server, a File server, a ??? server. I admit, I am a 'server' noob!
OK, so WINS is somehow linked to the use of a DNS server? That would be a local DNS server on my local server? Hmmm, I have all my clients pointed to the suggested DNS servers for my area in the Bellsouth network. I was using the Open DNS servers suggested here some months back. It seems that ATT/Bellsouth did not care for my using the Open DNS servers. I got lots of questionable connects in my router's status log last week. I suppose I really opened this can of worms because as I was re-addressing all my NIC cards, they all bitched at me if I left the WINS server addy blank! So, I just put in the net addy of my local server. "Local' as in right here, 18 inches from where I sit and type this reply...... :) OK, there is that word 'domain' again. Recall that we spoke of this before, but most of it went over my head. I parked the topic until I could get the LAN re-addressed and BB working. Now may be the time to grapple with it again. I am clearly in over my head! LOL! Best, Duncan At 21:51 10/22/2007 -0400, j maccraw wrote:
What kind of server are you running? No need for WINS if you have your own DNS server running, even less so if running a windows domain and everyone is a member.
