DNS is part of most every router, why one would not use it...

I know what a WINS server is suppose to do.

I do not use a local DNS server.
I do not use "domain" on my LAN.

?I also have dedicated lmhosts files on each machine!
(I am told that the use of lmhosts files is very OLD Tech!)

If I now use a WINS Server, should I:

a) delete/kill all my lmhosts files?
b) leave my LAN as it is?

I am getting ready to start a backup for my NAS, and, there is lots of noise (to me) about how my LAN has to be setup for this backup business to work.
Thank you,
