maybe stupid questions... but are you WINS server IPs on the workstations also dynamically distributed by DHCP or are these defined locally as static addresses? Are you using both SERVER OPTIONS and SCOPE OPTIONS? Remember, if you changed the WINS IPs in the server options and you still have the faulty WINS IPs in the scope options the WINS IPs in the scope options will be used Jorge

I had an error in the DHCP address of one of the WINS servers and I have corrected it on both of my W2K3 DHCP servers, but the clients won't pick it up. I can't find a doc at MS that tells me specifically how to get clients to re-read DNS data. Nor can I find any reference in my no less than ten @#$%^&* Windows NT Workstation reference manuals! net stop dhcp && net start dhcp, ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew doesn't do it. Neither does any nbtstat command. Rebooting also fails to reset the wins server addresses. Would anyone have a reference I can look at to get Windows NT 4.0 clients to refresh their WINS entries through DHCP? Thanks in advance.
