If you set the IP address to be obtained from DHCP , and you set DNS manually, the system will
accept the manual input, and the properties on the server appliance will automatically be set to
Configure manually. However, the Current Configuration column of the Object/Task Selector
on the Interfaces page will still show DHCP as the source of the IP address. You can go back into
the DNS settings properties page to confirm that the manual configuration has been saved.
WINS Configuration
This property page allows you to enter the addresses of external WINS servers. The server
appliance does not contain a WINS server. For the purpose discussed here, the server
appliance is a WINS client.
WINS-enabled client computers can be configured to make direct use of a WINS server.
Most WINS client computers typically have more than one network basic input/output
system (NetBIOS) name that they must register with the network. These names are used to
publish various types of network service, such as the Messenger or Workstation Service that
each computer can use in various ways to communicate with other computers on the
network.
WINS-enabled clients communicate with the WINS server to allow you to complete the
following tasks:
Register client names in the WINS database.
n
Renew client names with the WINS database.
n
Release client names from the WINS database.
n
Resolve names by obtaining mappings from the WINS database for user names,
n
NetBIOS names, DNS names, and IP addresses.
Clients that are not WINS-enabled can use WINS proxies to participate in these processes
in a limited way. If you are using a DHCP server to allocate WINS server IP addresses, you
do not need to add WINS server addresses.
