For Windows,
the subnet mask can be found by starting a Command Prompt and entering "
ipconfig"
on the remote system. On the host system, the WINS might need to be edited
to add the remote subnet mask. To do this on Windows go to the following commands:
- START => Network and Dial-up Connections => Local Area Network Connection
2 => Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties
- Click on "Advanced".
- Click on the WINS tab and add the new subnet mask
- Move the new subnet mask to the top of the list by highlighting it and
pressing the "Up" arrow until it is the top of the list of WINS addresses
