       Rather than a broadcast going through, it probably sent a name request to
    your WINS server and got a reply. Requests to WINS servers are directed
    requests, not broadcasts. They are not upset by routers or WAN links.

        If your clients are configured as WINS clients, they should only try to
    broadcast if the WINS request fails.
