Answer : WINS troubleshooting

Hey again JohnD,

nbtstat is one of the most useful tools, that will allow you to play around with the results of NetBIOS resolution.

netsh is also useful for a bit of command line administration. You can find a guide for that one here:

There's not much to it, but then there's not really much to NetBIOS name resolution. One day we may finally get rid of it, alas 2003 still sees it in use.
