Note that browsing (seeing the workgroup, being able to list other machines) is separate from name resolution (hostname -> IP address). WINS only gives you the latter. Windows browsing information can generally not cross subnets unless you are on a domain, you have a special browse master machine on each subnet (configured to sync to each other), or you do special magic to the broadcast packets. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
