*WINS Servers Configuration

If this does not work, you may need to configure the WINS server addresses on your workstation. The WINS servers are needed for sharing resources with machines in the CISNT domain and other parts of campus.

***Anyone using the Selectors Tool will need this.***

Don't add the WINS addresses if you really don't need them.
