Wins server on windows 7?

Question

System administration

The question is, is it possible to raise the wins server on windows 7? Perhaps there is a separate product, not ms? The option to install a server OS is not suitable. The network consists of machines that are connected 50/50 via twisted pair and wifi, so PCs that are connected via twisted pair are visible on the network and see each other, but PCs that are not via wifi. The only way out is to install wins.

Answer 1

"Visible on the network" - do you mean "Network Neighborhood"? Lists in a networked environment are built using a distributed service "Computer browser", WINS has nothing to do with it.
As for access by name, in any case, WINS is an obsolete technology, and it is highly recommended to use DNS.

Answer 2

Petya is 10 years old, and Lena is 156 cm tall. How old is the singing teacher if the bus is red?
Draw a connection diagram with all devices - access points, switches, laptops and computers. Plus a description of the network - range, masks, addresses, routes.
And what does "see" mean?

Answer 3

And maybe it's worth isolating wifi clients?

Answer 4

I recommend that you familiarize yourself with WINS at least from Wikipedia .
To understand that NetBIOS is not used on your network. WINS is also almost never used anywhere.

Answer 5

1 Maybe wifi works as a gateway and NAT does not work there?
2 When I was enikey, they solved the problem of visibility in the network of computers (about 60-70pcs) in the local network, Vince helps but not much + the wins service on the win2008r2 server quickly became a victim of some kind of virus, as a result, Vince lived on the samba file dump. but did not completely solve the problem.
3 The problem was solved by setting up a bunch of dhcpd + bind on the linux gateway - when issuing an address via dhcp, a PTR record was immediately created, so that this works well, computer names must be in English letters. Since then there have been no more problems.
