[Samba] Vijay - samba box not seen in browse list.

[Vijay Kumar]

Hi,

We have a PDC ( Win2K Domain Controller) without a
Wins server.

But I still get he point, why other machines are able tosee it and not only
the domain controller itself.

Will enabling Wins solve the problem ?

Regards,
Vijay.
