| You are the administrator of your company's network. The network
consists of Windows 2000 Server computers, Windows NT Workstation client
computers, and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client computers distributed
across three subnets. All client computers are configured as DHCP client
computers to automate TCP/IP configuration. You install a WINS server on
one subnet on your network. You also define a DHCP scope option to include
the WINS server's address. Users report that they can access resources on
servers on their own subnet, but they cannot access resources on other
subnets.
What should you do to resolve this problem?
a. Use the ipconfig /renew command to refresh the client computers'
configuration
b. Use the ipconfig /release command to refresh the client computers'
configuration
c. Install a WINS proxy agent on the subnet that hosts the WINS server
d. Install a WINS proxy agent on the subnets that do not host the WINS
server
e. Enable dynamic updates on the wins server
I would select 'D' but I've seen a few places the option 'A'.
Can't understand the selection of 'A'.

| I make it A.
The reason the clients can only access resources on their own subnet is because they are using a broadcast, which doesn't cross routers. WINS is implemented to solve this but the clients don't know about the WINS server until they renew their lease.
As the clients are receiving the IP address of the WINS server from DHCP they don't need a WINS proxy.
Thats how I read it anyway. |
