I have a couple of WINS servers entered in my NetServer configuration, and I'm wondering if I can remove them. I assume WINS is used for Windows Networking (since it's in the NetServer config). Google seems to indicate that WINS applies to Windows2000 and older.

I was told this morning those servers are being shut down, so I figured it would be best to remove the config early (just in case). Anyone have any experience with NetServer WINS?

Thanks
Justin Taylor
