Title: AS/400 and WINS Name Resolution

We are running a Windows NT network and have two WINS servers (we are not running DNS). We also have four AS/400's on our network as well. All of our client PC's are running "IBM Client Access" for 5250 sessions to the AS/400. I have a user trying to use the "Remote Procedure Command" to run a command on a PC. They reference the PC by it's Windows NetBios name. Of course the AS/400 can't find the PC because the AS/400 doesn't use NetBios.

Can the AS/400 be configured to reference the WINS servers for NetBios Name Resolution? Our AS/400 is a model 170 running OS/400 V4R2. Thanks for your help.
