INTRODUCTION
Microsoft® Windows NT® Workstation
4.0 enables you to establish an intranet site through the use of its Web
components-Peer Web Services, WINS and DNS Integration, and Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
PEER WEB SERVICES
Microsoft Peer Web
Services (PWS) enables publication of personal Web pages. PWS makes it possible for users
to share information on their corporate intranets. It is used for
development, testing, and staging of Web applications, as well as
peer-to-peer publishing. As with Windows NT Server's built-in Web server,
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), PWS supports all ISAPI
extensions and filters. PWS has also been optimized for interactive
workstation use, and does not have the system requirements (memory
requirements, server processes, and footprint) of a full Web server such
as IIS.
WINS AND DNS INTEGRATION
Windows NT Workstation 4.0
takes advantage of the integration between two Windows NT Server
services, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) and Domain Name System
(DNS) to provide a form of dynamic
DNS that exploits the features of both. With WINS
and DNS integration, users can enter DNS fully qualified domain names.
For example, using the Windows NT Explorer, a user could gain access
to a share via a DNS name such as \\srv1.myco.com\public.
MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER
Microsoft Internet Explorer
is Microsoft's Internet browser. Internet Explorer embraces
existing HTML standards, such as tables, while advancing HTML. It also
features performance enhancements that make it one of the fastest browsers
available on even the most complex Web pages. Take a look at our Internet
Explorer site for more details.
