I realize this is most likely the most killed topic anyone on the net. Most of the information i've found don't directly answer this question. I have a Samba server set up as the DMB and LMB via smb.conf. I have set up nmbd to do WINS. I setup all my XP box clients to use my Samba server. I ran Ethereal on the server and can see the Samba server wins election for DMA and LMB. I can also see each PC registering with Samba. The /var/lib/samba/wins.bat is correct but the browse.dat file only shows the server information. I am trying to see if i missed something here. if needed i can post my smb.conf. thanks. Jesse
