it would be nice if samba team makes NETBIOS work over IPX. anyway, IPX is going to be history with all these gigabit networks.

If all your machines are using WINS then the broadcasting should be
greatly reduced, though I doubt it can be completely eliminated without
turning off netbios and using dns names for everything.  Even then, you
would have to have W2K or higher on the workstations and turn off
NetBIOS support.  All the older stuff still broadcasts if it doesn't
immediately find what it wants.  I agree, for PnP networking IPX was the
bomb.  Sadly, it doesn't have the robustness of TCP/IP.  Oh well.
