I am setting up a Thinkpad T21 running Win2k on an existing LAN connected to
the 'Net. I think I have configured nearly everything properly, but have
found a term I do not understand (I am unfamiliar with Windows OSs --
sorry):
What is the "WINS address" that the system won't let me close the TCP/IP
settings without defining? This is on the "Advanced" page, which makes me
think it is not something that is always required, but that I may have made
trouble for myself by doing something extraneous that now required it.
What is this? Under what circumstances is it required? If I don't need it,
how can I get around the system's insistence that I enter it?
Thanks in advance...
