i have a mxq android box. would it be ok if i change WINS server?

[@itgeared]

if a device supports WINS, best to have a central WINS server or two and have all clients point to both of them for redundancy. Understanding my comments are in 2023... WINS is not really used as much any more. I'd recommend moving away from WINS at this point.

[@JDawgUnstoppable]

lol I had to play this video at .5 speed.

[@itgeared]

Yea, I get it. I try to keep these videos to the point and as short as possible. Will slow down in the future.

I have a name on my Mac on the netbio I never put, it’s normal or it’s a hack?

[@JorgeMederos]

You may have turned on file sharing in the past. If you machine isn’t part of a network or you share files on a network, you can disable those settings.

[@djmarkanthonyspecialforces4983]

Jorge Mederos thanks 🙏🏼

[@itgeared]

NETBIOS settings are still around but unlikely depended on at this point.

[@RecycleBin0]
