Microsoft Netbios Name Service Netbios Dns Domain Names Embedded Jet Database Tcp/Ip

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft's implementation of NetBIOS Name Service, which is a central mapping of host names to network addresses like DNS does for domain names. WINS has two parts, a server service that manages the database and requests, and a TCP/IP client component that handles registration, renewal of names, and queries from client systems.

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft's implementation of NetBIOS Name Service

(NBNS), a name server and service for NetBIOS computer names. Effectively, WINS is to NetBIOS names
what DNS is to domain names — a central mapping of host names to network addresses. Like the DNS, it
is implemented in two parts, a server service (that manages the embedded Jet Database, server to
server replication, service requests, and conflicts) and a TCP/IP client component which manages the
client's registration and renewal of names, and takes care of queries. (Source: wikipedia)
