To install WINS Manager
Ê From a Windows NT Workstation computer, log on to the domain in which your
Advanced Server is configured.
Ê Establish a connection to the ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD share on Advanced Server.
Ê Select the directory that corresponds with the version of Windows NT Workstation that
your computer is running.
Ê Double-click on SETUP.BAT.
The SETUP.BAT script automatically installs workstation-based network administrative
tools, including WINS Manager.
You then can add WINS Manager to the Administrative Tools (Common) Programs
group.
10.4 Using the wins command
In an Advanced Server for UNIX networking environment, the availability of the WINS
service can become an important aspect. Therefore, unlike other services within Advanced
Server, the WINS Service is to some degree able to run independent of all other services,
although there are some restrictions concerning administration.
You can start and stop the WINS server manually from the Advanced Server command
prompt by using the
wins command. This command can be used any time, regardless of
whether Advanced Server - the SERVER service - is running or not.
Ê Use wins start to start the WINS service.
Ê Use wins stop to stop the WINS service.
Ê Use wins status to display a list of processes that are important for the WINS service.
Sample output of wins status :
AS/X WINS / NetBIOS processes:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 857 1 0 Sep 12 ? 0:16 ./lmx.wins
root 14109 1 0 Sep 12 ? 0:05 nbrfcdaemon -f20 -l2
root 862 1 0 Sep 12 ? 0:01 /var/opt/lanman/bin/lmx.ep
NetBIOS is connected to the local WINS server running on 144.145.179.150
