    Hi tomfrey2320,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    Unfortunately, the OS6 NAS does not support WINS unlike the OS4. 

     

    You may post a suggestion or idea about that feature at the Idea Exchange board. Adding kudos to the ideas will help, as development team will be reviewing the post that has the most kudos for considering it to add to the product's future functionality.

      Microsoft has deprecated WINS, it is now considered a legacy service (replaced by DNS and WSD).
