| | Define Windows Internet Naming Service - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: WINS |
 | | Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), part of the Microsoft Windows NT and 2000 Servers, manages the association of workstation names and locations with Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses) without the user or an administrator having to be involved in each configuration change. |
 | | When a computer is moved to another geographic location, the subnet part of the IP address is likely to change. |
 | | Based on Microsoft's paper, DHCP and WINS have been submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as proposed open standards in Request for Comments 1533, 1534, 1541, and 1542. |
