Hi,
can anyone explain how to give WINS server address to the clients using
DHCP server? Specially I'm interested in DHCP tags - I couldn't find it
in available documents.
Greetings,
Maciej

What are you using? If it is ISC's I can give you my configuration. E.- -- Eloy A. Paris Information Technology Department Rockwell Automation de Venezuela Telephone: +58-2-9432311 Fax: +58-2-9431645
What DHCP server are you using? We're doing it with the ISC's dhcpd. HP's bootps server will do it to, it's in the man pages.

See the dhcpd.conf man page for details. Peter ----- Peter H.

For the Internet Consortium one it can be specified directly in the configuration file: option netbios-name-servers <name-or-ip-of-servers>; Otherwise, the tag number is 44. -- Joerg Lenneis email: lenneis@wu-wien.ac.at
