As it happens in this scenario both.  I have two subnets seperated by
a router.  Each subnet has been setup as a seperate workgroup instead
of one workgroup spanning the two subnets.  There is a file server in
workgroup b that needs to be able to share to all machines in
workgroup a + b *and* needs to run login scripts to map its shares to
the windows clients in workgroup a + b.  This is working although I
had to set the file server up as a wins (even though the router is a
wins).  I have had this working before without having to use two wins
servers and am just curious as to what the minimal setup is for the
above scenario.  The router is a domain master browser, and the
fileserver is a domain master browser and local master browser (for
different workgroups of course).  I also have browse sync set as well
now and didn't have to do this before.

Has anything changed....?
