The subnet calculator helps you design networks by taking an IP address and network mask and returning information such as network, broadcast address, and host range.
One of a set of tools we're offering as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the community.
Now open the WINS Administration tool in Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> WINS. If it isn't there, you may need to add the service. Go to Add/Remove programs in your control panel, select Windows Components, and locate and install the WINS service (within Networking Components group).
In the left hand window, right-click on WINS and select Add Server. This is where I don't have instructions. Try putting in your server's name. You may need to start the WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) service first (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services). Once you finish this process, your server should end up in the list of servers in the left pane and should have a green arrow (running OK).
Now go into the TCP/IP properties of the local area connection on this server and click on the Advanced button. Then click on the WINS tab and set the WINS server to his own IP address so he registers himself with the WINS server.
Now reboot all of your workgroup PCs (or do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew) and enjoy a much more stable environment (although a domain would be better...)
