We use two methods, 'broadcast' and 'WINS'. So, discovery of this information is obviously the question. The reason that we use for our ConfigServer and GhostCast groups is because it is treated specially by Microsoft implementations of WINS it is one of a handful of type codes for which the WINS server obeys the protocol spec and returns a list of the nodes which registered the name (if other name types are used, the WINS server just returns a single result which is an IP broadcast address). However, all names used by Microsoft NetBIOS networking are uppercase, so the GhostConfig name will not conflict with names registered by Domain Controller machines.

The type of is actually the same as that registered by Domain Controller machines in Windows Networking. The entries shown in uppercase are created by Windows itself using well-defined types (domains, workstations etc). These types are otherwise unused codes which differentiate Ghost in the NetBIOS namespace. In addition, there is one actual Console called 'testclient' and two GhostCast sessions called 'testsession' and 'testsession2.' Type is for unique Consoles and type is for unique GhostCast sessions. You can see from the output that there are two groups 'ConfigServer' and 'GhostCast'. The example used displays the names on a computer with the address 192.168.1.100 and computer name 'TESTCLIENT.' The command was executed from a computer with the address 192.168.1.89. The following shows the output from NBTStat, which is a standard Windows 'NetBIOS over TCPIP' utility. The Console and GhostCast server running on Windows use native API's to register: Usually, if you can browse a computer in the remote site using My Network Places in Windows Explorer, then this method COULD work. However, this method relies on a WINS infrastructure existing and working between the networks in question. Ensuring that the routers will pass Multicast traffic is usually all that is necessary to get this method working.Дetails of this method are shown below for your interest. Properly configured routers and switches pass this traffic to the Console. All Consoles register their interest in this traffic by sending IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) messages. The client sends a Multicast packet to an address and port number that the Console is expecting.

First, Method 1 is tried, and if that fails, Method 2 is attempted. Ghost Clients find the Console using two methods. In Windows XP this port range is 1024-4999 and in Vista or above the port range is 49152-65535, though there are registry keys that can adjust this range (this adjustment is a Windows property, not a Ghost property). ** 'Varies' indicates that an ephemeral port will be allocated for the connection. * If Multicasting is not available on the network, then this discovery step will fail and the client will attempt to issue a WINS query after 2 failures to locate the server via multicast (see Console Discovery below). The high level protocol used by Console & Client (DOS & Win32) 1.1.
