WINS.dat question

[Tim Carr]

Thanks for the reply. I do have all the file-sharing stuff installed on the 
MS client, it has shared files that are set up properly (can double click on 
itself in network neighborhood and see shared stuff); however due to the 
fact it's connected via PPTP, it won't properly put a #20 entry in wins.dat. 
Any ideas?
