I would agree with that 2 maybe 3 WINS server should be enough You should also look at setting them up in a hub-n-spoke topology instead of a mesh topology to help make management a bit easier. This way if you have to maintain static entries (which ARE rare), you can manage them on one central server and let WINS replicate them to the other servers.

Which also explains why stuff isn't working. Please tell me you're at least running a hub and spoke model and not a complete mess replication topology. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
