WINS.dat question

[Tim Carr]

Ok, after a LONG time (an hour), the WINS server has finally registered a 
#20 entry for the client in question.  The client changed it's IP cuz I 
rebooted it, and that hasn't yet reflected in the #03 and #00 entries, but 
when it does, I guess everything will work.

So I suppose it just takes longer for the WINS registration to work if it's 
via tunnels....

Thanks for all your help guys.
