[Samba] netbios and interfaces

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I stand corrected

WINS is to support looking up of netbios names to IP.     If DNS is 
setup, you usually don't need it for accessing network shares. If you 
have configured samba in a domain model, WINS would help clients locate 
the DC.

For browsing between subnets you probably want the "remote browse sync" 
feature (see the man page on smb.conf.)  I haven't used it. I think it 
isn't worth the work.


If a domain model,  a logon script usually maps drive letters to key shares.
