8 <para>This specifies the IP address (or DNS name: IP
9 address for preference) of the WINS server that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
10 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> should register with. If you have a WINS server on
11 your network then you should set this to the WINS server's IP.</para>
13 <para>You should point this at your WINS server if you have a
14 multi-subnetted network.</para>
16 <para>If you want to work in multiple namespaces, you can
17 give every wins server a 'tag'. For each tag, only one
18 (working) server will be queried for a name. The tag should be
19 separated from the ip address by a colon.
22 <note><para>You need to set up Samba to point
23 to a WINS server if you have multiple subnets and wish cross-subnet
24 browsing to work correctly.</para></note>
25 <para>See the chapter in the Samba3-HOWTO on Network Browsing.</para>

30 <comment>For this example when querying a certain name, 192.19.200.1 will
31 be asked first and if that doesn't respond 192.168.2.61. If either
32 of those doesn't know the name 192.168.3.199 will be queried.</comment></value>
