Anyone know of any? I'd like to run WINS on my network on an XP system...would rather not have to use Server 2003. :roll: Anyone know of any freeware NBNS/WINS daemons out there that might suffice?

Yea, lots of DNS/DHCP. What I'm really looking for is a WINS (aka NBNS) server that runs on Windows XP. Probably nothing like that exists, but I thought I would take a stab at it. :) Thanks much.

If anybody finds anything, I'd be interested too. Probably the "easiest" (and I say that sarcastically) thing would be to use Virtual PC or VMWare to run a copy of NT4 on an out of the way PC somewhere, and use that for a WINS server.
