[Samba] Delays with windows 2000

[Chris Smith]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the Samba docs, but wouldn't you need "host"
to be in the "name resolve order" for Samba to use hosts, or DNS for
name resolution?
Since Win2k/XP are DNS/hosts centric OS's that only use WINS/lmhosts for
backward compatibility one should be able to have a WINS free network if
all the MS OS's are 2k/XP and if Samba can resolve via DNS/hosts (maybe
I'm assuming too much on Samba's part).
