WINS
A distributed database for registering and querying dynamic name-to-IP address mappings in a routed network environment. When dynamic addressing through DHCP results in new IP addresses for computers that move between subnets, the changes are automatically updated in the WINS database.
Advanced Network Monitor allows you to monitor WINS servers.
The WINS check takes the following parameters:
Server Address - IP address of the WINS server;
Advanced Network Monitor tries to connect to a WINS server and resolve the Administrator's computer name. If server name is resolved correctly then the WINS server is marked as "Success", otherwise the server is marked as "Error".
