WINS Example in W2K Server TCP/IP Networking Guide Book

| I took the advice of several members here and purchased the W2K Server Resource Book on TCP/IP Networking to prepare for a second crack at the beast.
I have been reading the chapter on WINS and I have a couple of questions:
Registration of Group Names (pages 510-511 of the 2002 edition I have) - I don't recall learning about this in any of the other materials I have read - about Normal Groups, Special Groups and the like - I guess my question is: what function do they serve both in pre-2000 and 2000 compliant NT networks? Are they referring to workgroups, albiet in MS-ese? Do these groups have any relationship to workgroups and or do they limit the size that a workgroup can be, vs. a domain?
The other question I have concerns an example of replication on page 542, the Small Scale replication. The sentence that has me confused is: "The Version ID jumps from 4B3 for Client1 to 4C2 for client2. This indicates that 14 registrations took place between the registration of Client1 and Client2". I cannot figure out, based on the Tables 7.8 and 7.9 and other info, how they got the 14 figure. Can someone shed some light on this? Does the WINS system only count to 16 and then increment back to 0 or 1 on the next alpha character (in this case the letter C), based on the number of bits/bytes a Netbios/WINS record can have?
Thanks,
Jim | |

| I seem to have misplaced my server book so I can't actually see what you are describing but try this link and download the WINS2000.doc:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...drmgmt/wins.asp
Also check out the MS site for amendments to the book. | |

| The hex numbers 4C2 & 4B3 translate to decimal 1218 & 1203, respectively. Client 4C2 (1218) would have 14 clients between it and 4B3 (1203). At least this is how I understand it. | |

| OK, the decimal explanation sounds plausable.
I hate to be so dense, but how do you translate those figures (4C2 & 4B3) to decimal?
Thanks,

| Check out the free download Hex, Bin and Dec for Freaks! While you're there also download ARC Paths for Freaks! I had a couple of ARC Path questions on my exam. Good luck! 
PS: You can also use the Windows calculator to do the conversions by switching the default view to scientific. |
