Navy Reservists are highly motivated men and women who are dedicated to the defense of the nation and who reflect the diversity of the nation in so many ways. There are individuals of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities.
For this reason, Microsoft introduced WINS proxies. A WINS proxy is a WINS-enabled computer that helps resolve name queries for computers that are not WINS-enabled in routed TCP/IP networks. By default, computers that are not WINS-enabled use B-node name resolution. The WINS proxy listens on the local subnet for B-node name service broadcasts (such as registration, refresh, release, query) and responds for those names that are not on the local network.
The behavior of a B-node client does not change when a WINS proxy is added to the local subnet. If the first name resolution query times out, the client tries again. If the WINS proxy has the answer cached by the time it intercepts the new query, the WINS proxy answers the client.
