Yes, it has been configured via dhcp, and ipconfig shows primary wins
server : 172.30.1.30
Why browse.dat doesn't load values from wins ? In my case it seems to do
some broadcast for discovery. I thought the nmbd would get values from
the wins for the network browsing.

Hi,
I have troubles understanding wins and network browsing functionnality.
I have a samba server(pdc) on a different subnet than my clients.
The server smb.conf has wins support = Yes, the client are configured
to use the wins server.
In the wins.dat, i can see all the computers.
In the browse.dat i have only computers/servers that are in the same
subnet.
When i try to browse the network via "network neighborbood" i only see
the computers that are in the same subnet ( the same that are in the
browse.dat )
I've read the howto about wins, but can't understand how my computers
can be visible in the network neighborhood... I thought that setting a
wins server would be the solution but i think i'm wrong.
Could someone helped me ?
( I googled all the day for that ...)
Thanks,
Eric
Have you configured ALL you MS Windows clients TCP/IP settings to use
the Samba WINS server?
The Samba3-HOWTO has a fairly detailed chapter on network browsing.
What part of it does not make sense?
