Refer to the KB150800: Domain Browsing with TCP/IP and LMHOSTS Files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/150800/en-us where you will find how to setup your LMHOSTS files. You will use shared LMHOSTS file using #INCLUDE method: KB102725 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102725/en-us > You could allow > the NETBios traffic to run wild on your network...with local workstations > becoming local browse masters. All kinda messy. WINS can not reduce the traffic about NetBIOS browsing, which always use broadcasts regardless of WINS. But WINS can reduce the traffic about NetBIOS name resolution, using unicast to WINS servers instead of broadcasts. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
