WINS

Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:51 pm

Is there a way to make WINS server run on Mikrotik?
I have two routers connected via GRE tunel, with two different subnets routed by ospf.
I need to make windows shared printers from one network acsessable by another.
I think that there is no way to do that without WINS.
Now I'm looking how to enable WINS on Mikrotik. Any ideas how to?

I've installed WINS server on Mikrotik using that article
http://city.is74.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=764663
after that I added WINS server parameter to dhcp leases, but shared printers still not visible.
What else should I do to connect windows networks?

did you create virtual ethernet interfaces or assigned physical interfaces to your metarouter instance? you have to do that first, afterwards, metarouter will work as simple network appliance and do your bidding.
