How to set interface settings for WINS using netsh?

  • 772

On the Advanced settings in the of a network interface Properties there is the WINS tab, where the address for the WINS server can be set.

WINS Settings

How do I add the address using netsh instead, for both interfaces with static addresses, and ones with addresses received through DHCP?

I've tried a few things which I thought would have worked, but they didn't.

    Lets say you have an interface called "Local Area Connection 1" that you want DHCP to set WINS addresses for:

    netsh interface ip set wins name="Local Area Connection 1" source=dhcp

    Now, you might want "Local Area Connection 2" to have a static WINS source:

    netsh interface ip set wins name="Local Area Connection 2" source=static addr=10.0.1.11

    Check out the TechNet documentation for netsh interface ip
