WINS over LAN-to-LAN links
In order to use WINS name resolution over a remote network
connection, a WINS server must be used in each of the two
networks. WINS includes replication functions that allow the two
WINS servers to collate their databases at regular intervals, so
that name resolution can take place across the subnet boundary.
Note on the Microsoft Browsing Service
The browsing service creates a list of all the resolved computer names
for display in the Windows Explorer. The Windows Explorer then allows
the user to browse in the network.
Although LMHOSTS and WINS permit name resolution across IP sub-
networks, the browsing service is limited to the local subnetwork. For
this reason it is generally not possible to browse the remote network in
the Windows Explorer, even after the connection to a remote user or re-
mote network has been established.
