workgroup is a computer group unit in Microsoft Windows network for
network sharing.

selected for authentication.
Domain Name: Microsoft domain name. Enter the domain name when

WINS server
If the local network has a WINS server installed, specify the IP address. GNS-
8000B will automatically register its name and IP address with WINS service.
If you do not want to enable WINS server support, or you do not have a WINS
server on your network, enter 0.0.0.0 in the field for WINS server IP address.
Domain Master
There is a unique Domain Master Browser for collecting and recording
resources and services available for each PC in the network or workgroup of
Windows. When a domain master browser (Windows NT/ 200x/ XP PC) exists
already in the network, there is no need to configure GNS-8000B as the
domain master.
When you find the waiting time for accessing Network Neighborhood too long,
it may due to failure of an existing master browser, or there is no master
browser available. If the reason is the latter one, you can check the box
Domain Master in this section to configure GNS-8000B as the master browser
to enhance the speed of accessing information on Network Neighborhood.
