WINS server lookup
Authored by: Thomas Kaiser on Mar 28, '03 12:40:37PM
You can have a look for MASTER BROWSERs, by
    nmblookup -M -
and then use all those machines as a potential WINS server eg. by
    nmblookup -U [WINS server to query] -R [anything]
and search for "wins_srv_died()" messages. Maybe you'll find one that
can answer. This should be a properly acting WINS server.

BTW: In small networks there is no need for WINS at all. Local browsing
should (not ;-) work as expected.

Regards,

Thomas
