If you still are using netbios name resolution then yes you want to use wins
otherwise the computers will resort to broadcasting . Wins is particularly
important when your network has more than one subnet in order for the browse
list to be combined from the network segments. Though Windows 2000/2003 uses
dns heavily most networks still use My Network Places via old fashioned NBT
to find network resources. --- Steve
