I didn't say that you didn't have to have it. I said, you will probably
find that you will still need it. There is quite a bit of software out
their that still requires the use of WINS. That is my point.

*scratching head* Uh, why is that? 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.
