About this tag
The wins server tag covers discussions about using Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) for NetBIOS name resolution across networks. Topics include setting up a WINS server to enable name resolution between separate physical networks connected via VPN, and troubleshooting connectivity issues such as dropped mapped drives and SQL connections that may coincide with WINS implementation.

The tag is relevant for network administrators managing legacy name resolution in Windows networks.
