Managing Static NetBIOS-to-IP Address Mappings

Static mappings are non-dynamic database entries of NetBIOS computer name-to-IP 
address mappings for computers on the network that are not WINS-enabled or for special 
groups of network devices.

Adding static mappings into a WINS database accomplishes two things. First, it allows 
nodes to resolve a name of a computer (which might not be capable of registering names 
with a WINS server) with a query to the WINS Server without having to resort to secondary 
resolution methods. Second, it prevents the WINS server from allowing another node to 
dynamically register the name.

  

Static mappings are not recommended for WINS-enabled clients.

Use the Static Mappings command on the Mappings menu in WINS Manager to view, add, 
edit, delete, import or filter static mappings.

   Static entries that are not owned by the currently administered WINS server but 

replicated from a partner do not show up in the Static Mappings box.

Once a static name-to-IP address mapping is entered to the WINS server database, it 
cannot be challenged or removed except by an administrator who must remove it manually 
using WINS Manager. All changes made to the WINS server database using WINS 
Manager take effect immediately.

     A DHCP reserved (or static) IP address for a unique name in a multihomed 

computer overrides an obsolete WINS static mapping if the WINS server advanced 
configuration option Migration On/Off is checked “on.”
