+ <para>This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>to periodically announce itself
+ to arbitrary IP addresses with an arbitrary workgroup name.</para>
+
+ <para>This is useful if you want your Samba server to appear
+ in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse propagation
+ rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere that you
+ can send IP packets to.</para>
+
+ <para>For example:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">remote announce = 192.168.2.255/SERVERS
+ 192.168.4.255/STAFF</command></para>
+
+ <para>the above line would cause <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> to announce itself
+ to the two given IP addresses using the given workgroup names.
+ If you leave out the workgroup name then the one given in
+ the <link linkend="WORKGROUP"><parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter></link>
+ parameter is used instead.</para>
+
+ <para>The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
+ addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
+ of known browse masters if your network config is that stable.</para>
+
+<para>See <link linkend="NetworkBrowsing"/>.</para>
