Samba will use an existing WINS server on the network if you specify the
wins
server global option in your configuration file. The value of this option is either the IP address or DNS name (not NetBIOS name) of the WINS server. For example:
[global]
wins server = 192.168.220.110
or:
[global]
wins server = wins.example.com
In order for this option to work, the
wins
support option must be set to
no (the default). Otherwise, Samba will report an error. You can specify only one WINS server using this option.
