What is a WINS Proxy Agent?

A. If you have non-WINS machines on your subnet and wantthem to be visible participants, you will want a Proxy Agent to be activewithin this subnet.
A WINS Proxy Agent is a WINS client that allows non-WINS clients toparticipate, by listening for broadcast name requests and then forwards them toa WINS server. It then returns the result to the requesting client.

Use a Registry Editor (e.g. regedt32.exe) to openHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNetBTParameters and setthe EnableProxy parameter to 1.
