Our network isn't flat and we don't use WINS, just DNS. Last time I checked it was "Can We Buy Large Hard Drives" C Cache W Wins B B-Node broadcast L LMHosts File (netbios names) H Hosts File D DNS Server So as you can see, without wins, you can still use the Cache, Hosts File, and DNS for non-local resolution.
