Hi, my same and only customer's network has 2 subnets so they claim they need netbeui to be able to browse across the subnet, I said they dont but they are kind of reluctant to follow the advise. Now that the samba server is working, now I want to use it as a WINS server for all the machines across the network to reduce network traffic, but I need to make sure they will be able to share resources using only tcp/ip and a wins server. also, setting a machine to become a WINS client would be enough to stop it from trying to become a Master Browser?? I have two machines fighting eachother for the control of it. If I got the concept straight I wont be using a Domain or local Master Browser if I use a WINS Server even if it is in a different subnet, and I should be able to browse and see the whole network resources. Am I right? thanks, esv. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo! Dial - First Month Free http://sbc.yahoo.com
