This document describes how to configure a Windows computer using an access provider to allow access to machines in your UTHSCSA department, i.e. NT File Shares. If you want access to files on your NT Server at work, you must add entries for the campus WINS servers. You must have the WINS entries to allow the use of NT machine names because a non-routable protocol is used for Windows machine naming.
