->As stated above, MS Windows machines register their NetBIOS names
-(i.e.: the machine name for each service type in operation) on start
-up. Also, as stated above, the exact method by which this name registration
-takes place is determined by whether or not the MS Windows client/server
-has been given a WINS server address, whether or not LMHOSTS lookup
-is enabled, or if DNS for NetBIOS name resolution is enabled, etc.</P
-><P
->In the case where there is no WINS server all name registrations as
-well as name lookups are done by UDP broadcast. This isolates name
-resolution to the local subnet, unless LMHOSTS is used to list all
-names and IP addresses. In such situations Samba provides a means by
-which the samba server name may be forcibly injected into the browse
-list of a remote MS Windows network (using the "remote announce" parameter).</P
-><P
->Where a WINS server is used, the MS Windows client will use UDP
-unicast to register with the WINS server. Such packets can be routed
-and thus WINS allows name resolution to function across routed networks.</P
-><P
->During the startup process an election will take place to create a
-local master browser if one does not already exist. On each NetBIOS network
-one machine will be elected to function as the domain master browser. This
-domain browsing has nothing to do with MS security domain control.
-Instead, the domain master browser serves the role of contacting each local
-master browser (found by asking WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse
-list contents. This way every master browser will eventually obtain a complete
-list of all machines that are on the network. Every 11-15 minutes an election
-is held to determine which machine will be the master browser. By the nature of
-the election criteria used, the machine with the highest uptime, or the
-most senior protocol version, or other criteria, will win the election
-as domain master browser.</P
-><P
->Clients wishing to browse the network make use of this list, but also depend
-on the availability of correct name resolution to the respective IP
-address/addresses. </P
-><P
->Any configuration that breaks name resolution and/or browsing intrinsics
-will annoy users because they will have to put up with protracted
-inability to use the network services.</P
-><P
->Samba supports a feature that allows forced synchonisation
-of browse lists across routed networks using the "remote
-browse sync" parameter in the smb.conf file. This causes Samba
-to contact the local master browser on a remote network and
-to request browse list synchronisation. This effectively bridges
-two networks that are separated by routers. The two remote
-networks may use either broadcast based name resolution or WINS
-based name resolution, but it should be noted that the "remote
-browse sync" parameter provides browse list synchronisation - and
-that is distinct from name to address resolution, in other
-words, for cross subnet browsing to function correctly it is
-essential that a name to address resolution mechanism be provided.
-This mechanism could be via DNS, <TT
