Windows Internet Naming Service Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a name resolution service provided with Windows NT and Windows 2000 Server to map NetBIOS computer names of the form \\<name> to corresponding IP addresses. We encourage Windows NT users at the University of Texas at Austin to specify the above WINS servers when configuring TCP/IP in order to reduce conflicting NetBIOS computer names on the UT network. By default, Windows client computers are configured as h-node clients. www.utexas.edu /its/windows/wins   (331 words)

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. whatis.techtarget.com /definition/0,289893,sid9_gci214128,00.html   (332 words)

ISS X-Force Database: win-wins-gsflag-dos(15037): Microsoft Windows Server 2003 WINS /GS flag denial of service CVE-2003-0825: The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and possibly Windows NT and Server 2000, does not properly validate the length of certain packets, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code. The denial of service does not occur on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms, nor is there a possibility of remote code execution. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by the /GS flag security feature. xforce.iss.net /xforce/xfdb/15037   (492 words)

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-045: Vulnerability in WINS Could Allow Remote Code Execution (870763) The possibility of a denial of service on Windows Server 2003 results from the presence of a security feature that was used in the development of Windows Server 2003. On Windows Server 2003, when an attempt is made to exploit the buffer overrun, the security feature reacts and terminates the service. On Windows Server 2003, the most likely attack scenario is a denial of service. www.microsoft.com /technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-045.mspx   (6979 words)

Windows 2000 Server Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) Overview Windows 2000 WINS provides a configurable feature that allows a server to request a persistent connection with one or more replication partners, which eliminates the overhead of opening and terminating connections. Windows 2000 and Windows 98 provide an extra measure of fault tolerance by allowing a client to specify more than two WINS servers (up to a maximum of 12 addresses) per interface through either DHCP or Setup. Windows 2000 WINS gives network managers the ability to manually tombstone records, marking them for deletion so that the order to delete is propagated across all WINS servers. www.microsoft.com /technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/plan/wins2000.mspx   (2447 words)

Windows Internet Naming Service This chapter addresses what Windows Internet Name Service is, how WINS works, advantages and disadvantages of WINS, setting up WINS servers and clients, configuring and maintaining WINS, static routing with Windows NT, and WINS in the enterprise. Often, WINS is used to dynamically provide an NT-based domain name server with the names and IP addresses of Windows computers. Typically, the computer that currently owns the name acknowledges that it is alive on the network and the negative response message informs the new computer that there is a conflict. www.windowsitlibrary.com /Content/155/09/1.html   (1781 words)

AusCERT - ESB-2004.0115 -- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-006 -- Vulnerability in the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) Could Allow Code Execution (830352) For Windows 2000 and NT, the vulnerable code in the WINS service exists, however there is no denial of service condition. For Windows 2003 Server, after the service is stopped under this condition three times, manual intervention will be required to retart it. This bulletin describes a buffer overrun vulnerability in the WINS service and a related security feature in Windows 2003 Server which causes to WINS service to stop and restart when it detects a possible stack-based attack. www.auscert.org.au /render.html?it=3837&cid=1   (464 words)

Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) NetBIOS was invented by IBM and is used extensively by Microsoft in the Windows environment to provide a more intuitive method of networking using device names instead of meaningless addresses. The 16th byte is reserved by IBM and Microsoft and is often used to identify things such as services by SMB/CIFS (analogous to TCP/UDP ports). The name for the device is entered with a new version ID, the name is also given a time stamp, and marked with the owner ID of the WINS server. wins.cybersabotage.com /wins.htm   (1890 words)

WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) (Linktionary term) It is a service that keeps a database of computer name-to-IP address mappings so that the NetBIOS computer names used in Windows network environments can be mapped to IP addresses when the underlying network is IP-based. When a user needs to access some computer, the NetBIOS name is referenced, and this name is handed to the nearest WINS server, which then returns an IP address. WINS does for NetBIOS what DNS does for Internet names. www.linktionary.com /w/wins.html   (173 words)

WINS Windows NT and Windows95 clients on a Windows NT network are able to browse remote domains (without the requirement of a local domain controller's presence on the other side of the router). Registering your machine allows it to be known across the network without another user having to explicitly specify your machine's IP address (in his or her Windows machine's LMHOSTS file). Without WINS, for a user to see machines outside the local domain, the network administrator must have ensured that each user's primary domain has Windows NT servers or Windows NT workstation computers on both sides of the router to act as master browsers. www.uc.edu /ucitnow/spring_98/wins.html   (481 words)

Web Links - Microsoft - RRAS Description: When a client computer connects to your network either through a dial-up connection or through a virtual private network (VPN) connection, the Routing and Remote Access service assigns the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and the Domain Name System (DNS) IP addresses that must be used by the client. Description: When the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) process on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer shuts down while a demand-dial interface is still connected, the interface does not reconnect after you restart RRAS. Description: After you upgrade a computer running Windows NT Server and Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) to Windows NT Service Pack 6 (SP6), the RRAS configuration can no longer be saved. www.helpline4it.com /link-9.html   (842 words)
