Hello
I thought NBNS was only in ComOS 3.8, but I have never tried it in
ComOS 3.7
Also most people will know a NBNS(NetBIOS NameServer) as a WINS server.
So why don't you rename NBNS to WINS. Just a RFE for the poor people who
have to use the buggy Microsoft software. Even salesmen will understand
this. Or do you want to emphasize the fact that Microsoft still use the
very dated NetBIOS protocol for all Microsoft networking. I think that
NT 5 will change that though. Or is that good old Microsoft vapourware.
Cheers
James
