Computer Networks Interview Question:
Explain why WINS server is required?
Submitted by: AdministratorWindows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is an older network service (a protocol) that takes computer names as input and returns the numeric IP address of the computer with that name or vice versa. WINS was designed to replace the LMHOSTS file functionality that was used previously on computers and networks utilizing NetBIOS and NetBIOS names. WINS is considered to be a dynamic protocol because it allows hosts, services and users to be registered in the WINS databse on the WINS server automatically when they connect to the network. This saved Network Administrators a great deal of time over having to update and maintain separate LMHOSTS files all over the network.
