Wow, tough questions.

I have no answers for you, but if somewhere down the line you need the help of a Star Wars nerd, I'll be around.

anyone know the answers to these questions... i've looked my book up and down and back up again and cannot find them... geez - I'm doing homework now? :crazy: i am NOT a network administrator, so i don't guarantee any of these answers, but I'll try to help to the best of my ability.... refer to Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/techref/en-us/Default.asp?url=/Resources/Documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/techref/en-us/w2k3tr_wins_how.asp) for the best info

Which of the following client Operating systems require WINS to funtion properly in a routed network?
c) Windows NT

Which of the following situations used NetBIOS names
c) opening My Network Places
d) a Windows NT workstation logging onto the domain

Which methods can be used to configure a Windows XP computer with the IP address of a WINS server? i am not entirely sure which of the methods that would work here... i think it depends on how you configure the client machines
a) DNS distributes the address
d) edit the properties of TCP/IP to assign the address
e) multicasts distribute the address (i think this is USUALLY used to maintain WINS servers working together, but I dont know if there is a way to make it work for an XP client)

WINS clients send a name refresh request when one-half of the _________ is complete as far as I know, the correct term is the Time-To-Live interval, but i suppose you could call it the
b) extinction interval
- or -
c) extinction timeout

What can be done to accomodate NetBIOS servers that are unable to participate in a WINS enviroment?
c) create static mappings in the WINS databases for each server

sounds like you've got a pretty technical course with some tough homework... good luck man.
