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.
WINS and DNS. Although WINS performs a similar function to DNS, WINS and DNS are separate protocols and are not related. The format of WINS records is incompatible with DNS as written in the RFC's (DNS domains cannot include an underscore; underscores are permissible in WINS domain names). WINS has nothing to do with the world-wide network called The Internet. DNS is used by The Internet; WINS is not.
