Hi everyone, I know that there are issues with NetBIOS across subnets, but I was wondering: Q: If I run nmbd on a multi-interface Linux router, and allow it to listen on all interfaces, and pointing all clients to their respective router interface, can it effectively serve WINS to all subnets such that everyone can browse everyone? Thanks, -- Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems InfiniCon Systems http://www.infiniconsys.com
