When you use NetBIOS scopes, WINS computer queries with static WINS entries
do not work. You are unable to add NetBIOS scope information to static WINS
entries using WINS Manager (WINSADMN.EXE).
RESOLUTION
Use the WINSCL.EXE utility included in the Windows NT Resource Kit version
3.51 or use the LMHOSTS file. For additional information on WINSCL.EXE,
please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
