Is the client computer able to use WINS, and is it correctly configured?
First, check that the client is configured to use both TCP/IP and WINS. Client configuration of WINS-related settings can be done manually by an administrator setting the TCP/IP configuration of the client, or it can be done dynamically by a DHCP server providing the client its TCP/IP configuration. In most cases, computers running earlier versions of Microsoft operating systems are already able to use WINS once TCP/IP is installed and configured at the client. For Windows 2000, administrators can optionally disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) for each client. If you disable NetBT, WINS cannot be used at the client. Also, check that the client computer has valid IP addresses. To check the IP configuration of a client computer, use the ipconfig /all command. (To slow or pause the output, use ipconfig /all | more for screen-by-screen review.) In the command output, verify that the client computer has a valid IP address, a valid subnet mask, a default gateway, and both a primary and secon
