[Samba] Minimal configuration for Name Service

[Thiago Crepaldi]

That is all I need. the client host needs to be able to resolve the server
name through netbios in a way that is as safe as possible.

The server might or not be a domain member and server might be in a
different subnet. it all depends if the upnp packet can make its path.
