Can you configure HPUX 11.00 to use a WINS server??

I want to be able to use resolve names using WINS

[James R. Ferguson · Accepted solution]

Hi:

This will work. Specify the WINS server address in your '/etc/resolv.conf' as the 'nameserver', and setup your '/etc/nsswitch.conf' file like:

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

Or install samba (CiFS server) and set it up to be a WINS server

Hi Mathhew

Also after configuring you can use nslookup to see whehter the name is being resolved using the dns server , and of course you should be able to communicate to the server at the first place.

All the best.
