Ethernet/Mod Config. They also have a DNS entry set up for their DNS server. They can ping items by name if they are listed on the DNS server just fine. Their complaint is that "WINS doesn't work.". When the users dial in via modem, they use an IP pool which assigns an address and all IP addresses are pingable, including the WINS servers, and all items by name that are listed in their DNS server. However, they complain that WINS does not work. In other words, the WINS servers are assigned to the WIn95 dial in clients (they only use TCP/IP as their protocol on the dial-up adapter. However, they cannot ping anything by name (from the dial-in client or the MAX) that is assigned by the WINS server and does not reside in the DNS server. I do not use WINS enough to understand anything other than it is a way to resolve NetBIOS names from TCP/IP addresses. Everything else works fine though. The MAX version is 5.0A. If this is even a logical question, I am unsure, but I hope someone can help clear this up for me.
