I donīt have any name resolution problem, but i want to know if is better to add WINS service to the network.
thanks

| Seeing how this is a pretty small environment, I don't anticipate that alot of network traffic is being taken up by name resolution broadcasts. I'm guessing also that this isn't a routed environment either, correct? If you think that you have a lot of brodcasts, and its sucking up your bandwidth, then I would run "netmon" and see how many broadcasts you are actually getting. If the number is significant then I would consider setting up a WINS server, otherwise as long as names are resolving properly I don't see any reason why you would need one. | |

| Your problem is not lack of WINS. It's the presence of ME. I have Ethereal as a sniffer. It downloads for free. | |

ME because the client don`t have $$ for 2k or XP, this company is a new client and buy their machines on Office Depot, and come with ME by default....
