Specifying WINS Properties
Similar to DNS, the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is the
Windows NT server method for associating a computer's hostname with its
address.
To specify the WINS properties:
1
In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab,
navigate down the tree to Networking Settings > Windows.
2
Select Actions > Edit WINS Properties.
3
Enter a WINS Server IP Address.
4
Optionally, you can enter a Network Neighborhood Comment (the
comment you enter appears in the Network Neighborhood comment
field).
5
Click OK.
Defining Windows Security
You can choose from two Windows NT security modes:
Share-Level Security: The NAS server handles its own security. Shares
I
may be password-protected and may limit your access (read-only and/or
read/write) to data. You may define a password when you create the
share.
User-Level Security: A domain controller is used to authenticate users
I
when they access the NAS server. This requires specifying the domain
name.
To define the Windows NT security mode:
1
In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2
Navigate down the tree to Networking Settings > Windows.
3
Select Actions > Edit Windows Security Properties.
