Actually, Ray I should be more precise with my words.  I am saying WINS, but
what I really mean is netBIOS name resolution.  On a flat network, with no
legacy RAS servers you don't need a WINS server.  But, you will still need
some form of netBIOS name resolution that DNS cannot provide.  I believe the
earlier email that someone sent was trying to say this.

I'm not running WINS on my home network of 9 computers.  Of course,
that's at home...   But I'm running Exchange, SQL Server, IIS, Active
Directory, etc.
