Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX Configuring NetBIOS

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

To view the current WINS client configuration:

Ê At the command prompt, type

nbtstat -w

Example of /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/wins.cfg:

WINS servers configured in the wins.cfg file are not only used for name resolution, but also

for name registration, name renewal and name release.

Be sure to have the NetBIOS tuning parameter NBRFCWINSREG set to 1 if you

want Advanced Server for UNIX to register names with WINS servers.

If the local machine is running the Advanced Server for UNIX 4.0 WINS service, it

is recommended to configure both primary and secondary WINS to point to this

WINS, i.e. to the local machine.
