I read that in order to have WINS work correctly, one need to have the

What problem are you trying to solve? Please give an example of what is
not working.
I currently have WINS enabled and no guest account. When I go to the
Hood it shows a blank page. I have checked, rechecked, checked and
rechecked my settings. Any ideas?
What do you believe WINS is and what does it do?
WINS is orthogonal to network browsing. A guest account is central to
network browsing, but has nothing to do with WINS. In the absence of a
guest account for samba you can forget about network browsing.
Why have you NOT configured a guest account for Samba? What is your
problem with this guest account?
Have you configured your MS Windows clients to use the WINS server by
setting the IP address of your Samba WINS server as the IP address of the
primary and secondary WINS addresses? If you have done this then use of
LMHOSTS is highly undesirable and can be counter productive.

Dear Sirs,
i'm trying to set up my samba server as WINS server
in /etc/lmhosts i've defined:
Most likely you won't need a lmhosts if you have wins working properly.
In the tcp/ip setting, under wins server, i put the samba server address
192.168.1.1
Configure all servers to use this wins server EXCEPT the wins server
itself!
This is on 192.168.1.1 you have
wins support = yes
and no wins server entry.
On all other machines samba and NT/2k you configure
wins server = 192.168.1.1
(in smb.conf or the Windows network setup)
