WINS is used to register netbios names and map them to ip addresses.
Similiar to DNS except DNS is a Host name to ip address system. The netbios
name is of course the name you give to your machine. The master browser is
and backup master browser keep a list of available network resources. Master
browser and backup master is done through an election process which on large
networks can create a large amount of traffic and create problems.
In a PDC BDC anvironment it is supposed to default to making hte PDC the
master browser although I personally have at times found it better to force
a master as when you shutdown the PDC , sometimes things get fouled.
To force a master on a machine edit that machines registry to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
Value= IsDomainMaster True
