I agree with Michael. This won't work with a workgroup. Apart from
anything else, you will find that the client will search for a browse list
by sending a <domainname 1b> request to WINS. This doesn't exist without a
domain, and the client just sits there until it times out. Browsing WANs
needs a domain setup.
