Panther and WINS Servers

[rastermon]

Just installed Panther today - but having problems networking to the windows world.
I was using Dave with 10.1.5 - do I need to totally get rid of this?
I did an uninstall of Dave, but got an error saying some of the items moved or were in use. ( I did this after installing Panther)
I can see many Windows drives, (not all the drives I saw yesterday) but I can't find my Mac from a PC. The Network here is run with WINS servers (don't know much about these)
MIS here knows nothing about Macs.
Set up networking with DHCP and I have an IP address that will last for several months

Thanks

Me again--
I had to set up sharing - doh!
Most of my probs are solved now - I think I need to get an MIS person to give me access to the PCs I saw before

You can setup your Mac to use a WINS server in the Directory Access application in /Applications/Utilities for authentication and probably directory information as well. I've never used it but you can try that and see if it helps find the other computers.
