I have a winNT4.0 DHCP server installed. The WINS service is also running. I have thin clients set up for DHCP picking IP addresses from this server. The thin clients pick up DHCP address perfectly but i cannot ping these devices using the name. I can ping the IP address they pick up. What am i doing wrong in setting up the DHCP/WINS? Any help would be appreciated.
