In most cases it's not really useful, as Windows clients will do the master browser fight in absence of a wins server. The format is: 192.168.2.1 hostname #PRE The best use for it I've found is joining computers to a domain over a wan link. 192.168.1.4 dc01 #PRE #DOM:DOMAIN Otherwise, setup samba as your master browser/wins server. :) | Andrew S.
