pretty much, yea. Win clients doing SMB are going to want to look for a
WINS server. You may be able to go muck around in the networking config
in a win client and disable or specify the WINS server, but I've never
tried that to be totally honest.
hmmm....

OK, try this,
[RIGHT-CLICK] NETWORK-NEIGHBORHOOD -> PROPERTIES -> TCP/IP (for the
network card) -> PROPERTIES (for that TCP/IP config) ->
WINS-CONFIGURATION-TAB -> [CLICK] DISABLE-WINS-RESOLUTION.
That might do what you're after. The problem with this is you'd have to
do it for -EVERY- win client on your network. For a small network, that
might be OK, but when you start growing past 20 computers or so, it gets
to be a pain. Your best be is to just filter it out in the firewall or
get diald to ignore those packets.
peace favor your sword

But I have no other option if I want to do peer-to-peer networking in the
Win environment, right? I can't do it just with tcp/ip.
