locate NetBIOS resources on TCP/IP networks. When using TCP/IP,
the computer name must be resolved to an IP address. WINS is
designed to eliminate the need for broadcasts in order to resolve
computer names to IP addresses. It provides a dynamic database that
maintains computer name to IP address mappings.
