Gopakumar,
What you say is very confusing. WINS and DHCP are not
connected. Furthermore, NetBIOS does not use ip addresses - it uses
netnames. DHCP doesnt not use netnames and only uses ip addresses. So I
dont understand how a DHCP server could define NetBIOS settings on your
network.
What is this "sharity" anyway? Have you looked into Samba
(www.samba.org) ? It is the more popular and reliable way to connect
Windows machines on a Unix network.
Regards,
Kenneth
