Managing Static Address Mappings

Static mappings are non-dynamic database entries of NetBIOS computer names and IP addresses for computers on the network that are not WINS-enabled or for special groups of network devices.

To view, add, edit, import, or delete static mappings in the WINS management console, on the Mappings menu, click Static Mappings.

Once entered to the WINS server database, static name–to–IP address mappings cannot be challenged or removed, except by an administrator who removes the specific mapping using the WINS management console. All changes made to the WINS server database with the WINS management console take effect immediately. Note that a DHCP reserved (or a static) IP address for a unique name in a multihomed computer overrides an obsolete WINS static mapping if the WINS server advanced configuration option Migration On/Off is checked.
