What are the point of Browse Lists if you have a WINS server? Unless
I'm mistaken, Browse Lists and WINS servers both serve the same purpose:
to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses. So in a Windows Domain, if I
have a WINS server, why do I even bother messing with Browse Lists?
I'm kind of new to Windows Domains and I'm also new to Samba (in any
capacity more complicated than simple SMB file sharing) so I'm trying to
understand some of these basic concepts and would really appreciate any
help.
This seems like more of a general Windows network administration
question; with little specificly to do with Samba. You'll probably get
a better response in a Windows networking forum.
I doubt, here is a better place to ask. :P
You can take a look at the samba docs, it has an entire chapter about
how browsing works:
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html
TIP: If you want to avoid using browsing, etc... you can set the
NetBIOS note type of your workstations either in the registry or via
DHCP.
Node types defines the way the client register and resolve NetBIOS names.
