Hi! I'm working in an office with several win hosts of all flavours (98,2000,eXPerience). Unfortunatly the resolution of computers takes sometimes up to half an hour (approx.) until they are accessible after booting up. In near future I'll have the chance to switch to FreeBSD with my box (at least, I hope so). I'll install samba for win access to my machine. Reading some documentation I've found out that samba can also act as a wins-server. Will this enhance the latency of netbios resolution or will it corrupt it? Is there a way to speed up this process with samba, am I writing complete nonsense? Tell me if this is true. Yours, Florian
