I was wondering why it took Shawn so long to respond to that. :)

I might add that the line in smb.conf that you want to uncomment
and set equal to 130.132.143.43 is the "wins server = " line, not the
"WINS Support" one. The latter tells your computer to _act_ as a WINS
server.

This is well documented in the man pages and in the comments in
the default smb.conf itself, but it's kind of non-intuitive, and thus was
probably worth mentioning.

> acs-wins.its.yale.edu 130.132.143.43 (primary WINS server)
> acs-loses.its.yale.edu 130.132.143.42 (secondary WINS server)
