its interesting. we have atm and ethernet interfaces. i never had the ethernet interface registering in wins, but now i want to. so i take eo down remove the -wins and ifconfig on the console.
i get "All CIFS name registrations complete for local server" on the filer console, but the ethernet interface does not show up in wins.

Here's an undocumented feature... use ifconfig to re-up the interface (even tho it's already up), and it may well do the trick.
