Page 6 of Chapter 5 "Installing and Configuring WINS Servers" (SERVER.HLP)
Windows NT 3.51 Books Online incorrectly states the following:

  Renewal Interval    Specifies how often a client reregisters its
                      name. The default is five hours.

The default Renewal Interval for records in the WINS database for Windows
NT 3.5 and 3.51 is four days (96 hours).
