How do I setup WINS in a NT Environment?

All that you have to do is right click network neighborhood and go to properties. Click the services tab and add the windows internet name service. Add this service, (it will need the nt cd) and then reboot the machine. it is always a good bet to reinstall the service pack after doing this. under the administrative tools in the start menu there will be a wins manager. There you can configure your system to used wins. After this is done, (it is pretty easy if you take 5 min to explore wins mgr) if you are using DHCP, you can use DHCP mgr to dish out your wins to all of your workstations. 044 and 046 044 is the wins service and 046 is the nbt node type. in the nbt node type use 0x8, this is the least amt of broadcast. If no DHCP every machine must be entered under WINS in the TCP/IP properties the IP address of the WINS server. I hope this helps!!!!

Others have answered about WINS, but that realy has little to do with remote access. I think you are talking about VPN or RAS(dial-in).

If you want to access your servers, printers etc from a remote PC, through the Internet, you are talking VPN. There are lots of options, so let me know if thats where your heading.
