Change in WINS Search Order from Windows NT 3.5 to 3.51Last reviewed: November 11, 1997Article ID: Q137780 |
The information in this article applies to:
A Windows NT 3.5 computer only uses the Secondary Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server for NetBIOS name resolution when it does not receive a response from the Primary WINS Server. If a NetBIOS name is not found in the primary WINS database, Windows NT 3.5 does not search the secondary WINS server. The search order in Windows NT 3.51 and above now uses the Secondary WINS server when the Primary does not respond or when the requested name is not found in the Primary WINS Server database. NOTE: This new search order also applies to Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (using TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11b and the updated redirector files).
