I don't know what causes your problem. I do know though, that I had a WINS
server on three subnets, one being a subnet with a real IP, one being a
'fake' subnet for a real IP (a kind of arp-proxying but with a
255.255.255.252 subnet) and the third being a subnet for 192.168.112.0. Now
browsing seemed to be working very badly, I do not know why, but I suspect
the WINS/browselist on a router. Last week I changed the arp-proxything
into real arp-proxying, and it seems that browsing works better now. So
maybe the WINS and/or browselist on a machines with more IP's is a problem?
(Now I have only 2 IP numbers in the WINS, I used to have 4)
