wins server (G) This specifies the IP address (or DNS name: IP address for preference) of the WINS server that nmbd 8 should register with. If you have a WINS server on your network then you should set this to the WINS server's IP. You should point this at your WINS server if you have a multi-subnetted network. NOTE. You need to set up Samba to point to a WINS server if you have multiple subnets and wish cross-subnet browsing to work correctly. See the documentation file BROWSING in the docs/ directory of your Samba source distribution. Default: not enabled Example: wins server = 192.9.200.1
