Hello Jim,

While IBM i can use WINS, I almost never see it done.

"Can use WINS" is different to "can be configured to use a WINS server". :-)

Do you know, if (and how) a WINS server can be configured to IBM i? As said, I've found nuffin'.

Up to V7R4 could also be a WINS server and I can say I’ve never seen that.

Makes sense only rarely. Most of the time, companies have an established Windows AD domain infrastructure, which handles that kind of stuff.

Not sure if WINS pertains only to NetBIOS/NBT. Probably yes, because CIFS (Port 445) entirely relies on stock DNS for name resolution.

:wq! PoC
