Secondly, in those networks where Samba is the only SMB server
technology
wherever possible nmbd should be configured on one (1) machine as the
WINS
server. This makes it easy to manage the browsing environment. If each
network
segment is configured with it's own Samba WINS server, then the only way
to
get cross segment browsing to work is by using the "remote announce" and
the "remote browse sync" parameters to your smb.conf file.

->If only one WINS server is used then the use of the "remote announce"
and the
"remote browse sync" parameters should NOT be necessary.

A) Use of the "Remote Announce" parameter The "remote announce"
parameter of smb.conf can be used to forcibly ensure that all the
NetBIOS names on a network get announced to a remote network.  The
syntax of the "remote announce" parameter is: remote announce =
a.b.c.d [e.f.g.h] ...  _or_ remote announce = a.b.c.d/WORKGROUP
[e.f.g.h/WORKGROUP] ...  where: a.b.c.d:	is either the LMB
(Local Master Browser) IP address e.f.g.h:	or the broadcst
address of the remote network.  ie: the LMB is at 192.168.1.10, or the
address could be given as 192.168.1.255 where the netmask is assumed
to be 24 bits (255.255.255.0).  When the remote announcement is made
to the broadcast address of the remote network every host will receive
our announcements. This is noisy and therefore undesirable but may be
necessary if we do NOT know the IP address of the remote LMB.
WORKGROUP: is optional and can be either our own workgroup or
that of the remote network. If you use the workgroup name of the
remote network then our NetBIOS machine names will end up looking like
they belong to that workgroup, this may cause name resolution problems
and should be avoided.

B) Use of the "Remote Browse Sync" parameter The "remote browse sync"
parameter of smb.conf is used to announce to another LMB that it must
synchronise it's NetBIOS name list with our Samba LMB. It works ONLY
if the Samba server that has this option is simultaneously the LMB on
it's network segment.  The syntax of the "remote browse  sync"
parameter is: remote browse sync = a.b.c.d where: a.b.c.d:	is
either the IP address of the remote LMB or else is the network
broadcast address of the remote segment.
