How does wins work

Once a WIN client first comes online, it will first send out a request to confirm it holds a unique hostname. This step is necessary to avoid name duplication. Once no other name is found on the network, the client will then register itself in the WINS database.

After some time after all WINS clients have received the WINS server to point to and have registered themselves, all clients can resolve all other client names through name resolution even across different networks. A WINS replication partner can be either configured in a pull or push manner. Pull replication partners request updated database records from Push partners. These requests occur every 15 minutes or in response to an update notification from a Push partner. In a large network, you should configure all WINS servers as both pull and push partners to provide up-to-date database entries for all WINS servers in the network.

The push partner responds by sending changes. What is the static IP? What is dynamic IP? What are the differences between static and dynamic IP? This post shows answers. DNS is mainly used for servers and network equipment. In this post, I am going to talk about the 10 computer networking concepts that every professional should master. I will also include links to the main articles of each concept.

This theoretical model explains how networks behave within an orderly, seven-layered Continue Reading.
