Yes. Read up on "remote announce" and "remote browse sync" by doing: man smb.conf then search for those parameter. The result will be that all machines will appear in the browse list, you may then have a problem with NetBIOS name resolution. You will need DNS for name resolution. You will see a LOT of UDP broadcast activity on the network - but that is the price of not using WINS. > So A should see SS, B and C.
