WINS is a very interesting product of microsoft. How more you think about it, how less you understand the internals. But it can suprisse you.
That is the raison that we entered our filers (and some others NT-servers) manual (static mapping) in WINS. It works fine.

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.
