Does it make sense to have a DNS server in a working group?

Question

System administration

sometimes there are problems with displaying computers on the network, especially on win xp, if you raise dns, will there be any sense?

Answer 1

You need a WINS server.
The DHCP server must be able to pass option 44 with the wins server address.
Or specify the wins server address statically, in the network connection settings. Win 10 this function is available from the GUI. In other operating systems, you need to register in the registry.
