Microsoft Networking can be accomplished via TCP/IP.
You do not need a WINS Server in the Network. As said
previous e-mail, the Broadcast are not from searches
for WINs Servers, but by Broadcasts for SMB Browser
Synchronization. IP Addresses for WINS Servers MUST
BE EXPLICITLY DEFINED, or DEFINED BY DHCP
EXTENSION INFORMATION.
When you do not have a WINS Server, you must put the
TCP/IP -to- System Name relationships in a file called
"C:\Windows\lmhosts.sam" on your Windows Machines.
If you want a WINS Server, you can setup one using NT Server,
or Samba on Linux.
