  • WINS on a multihomed NT-Server?

    Does anyone have experience with working with WINS on a multihomed NT-server?

    If so, how did you do it and how can it be done on this system?

    System Specs:
    P120
    Intel FX mobo
    48Mb RAM
    3x 3COM 3x905 NICs
    NT Server 4.0

    Thanks in advance

    Jorden,

    3 Nics?

    I'm guessing here:
    This server acts as a router connecting 3 segments, right? Are you using multiple protocols or just one? Is this a PDC?

    Anyway, there are issues with multihomed servers, because the master browser does not merge the different server lists from all nics.

    MS recommends to bind the WINS service to only one nic. You may want to take a look at the following articles from the MS knowledgebase: Q244983, Q221210, Q158487, Q133241.

    Happy networking
    R.
