the network will be 70% nt clients , 30 % 2000. server will be 2003. all same site - no-one crossing routers - am i correct in saying wins should still be used? or at least until the nt goes. will the 2000 still broadcast without wins.
 
Hi,

Yes, install WINS, it'll make browsing faster. I don't have nt/9x machine but I'm still using WINS.

Can(Cache) We(WINS) Buy(Broadcast) Large(LMHost) -|-
Large(localhost) Hard(Hosts) Disk(DNS)

The NT/9x machine will start from Cache for network resolution and 2k machine start from localhost.
