WINS server

[Max Wheatley]

Hi Guys

I need some hints..

Now if I have this right a WINS server allows you to "browse" a subnet
on the other side of a router that does not relay netbios ( ?? )

That is what I would like it to do anyway ........


OK I have "wins support = yes"

I have a /etc/lmhosts file.

On my NT / Win95 boxs they point to the ip address of the Samba server (
which is working as a PDC ).


Should I be able to use sambas "nmblookup name" and get the contents of
the /etc/lmhosts file ???? Is there a equlivelent command for testing
the WINS server under NT ??


Thanks
