Actually, Ray I should be more precise with my words. I am saying WINS, but what I really mean is netBIOS name resolution. On a flat network, with no legacy RAS servers you don't need a WINS server. But, you will still need some form of netBIOS name resolution that DNS cannot provide. I believe the earlier email that someone sent was trying to say this. -----Original Message----- From: Ray at home [mailto:listray@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 7:18 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT: (sort of) Adding NT4.0WS to 2000 domain I'm not running WINS on my home network of 9 computers.
