Windows 2000 doesn't use WINS at all any more AFAIK. I know that it
doesn't in it's native AD mode and am nearly certain it doesn't in mixed
mode either. With the advent of W2K M$ has shifted to Active Directory
(Dynamic DNS is one of the central parts of AD) which depends upon DNS
instead of WINS for name resolution. .
 
Hope this helps.
