If you don't have a domain controller or samba setup as one the winblows 9x machines will call a browse election every roughly 12 to 15 minutes to see who will be the browse master. This will cause a lot of netspewy noise on the network and in the logs. Winblows 9x browse default no. 1 I think samba defaults with everything off as 1 as well.
On a side note I heard a couple of years back there was a nfs for winblows, anyone know of a gpl version of this getting around? This would be a good way to kill off netbios noise on the network. Gary.
