Win clients on other subnets

[Mac]

Hi all,

Nearly right.  'wins server' is the smb.conf setting to tell your
Samba(UNIX) box where the WINS server is on the network.  DO NOT SET
this setting if you want Samba to be your network's WINS server.

DO SET the 'wins support' setting for WINS server functionality.

NEVER set them both.
