Shackdaddy,
I agree with jjgraf - only keep WINS if you have to ie downlevel clients- the rest of your points are just plain wrong.
1) "The only way to do NetBIOS name resolution across a router is either to use WINS or to put an LMHOSTS file on the client"
Incorrect Win2000 DNS can resolve netbios addresses.
2) "BROADCASTS. So I'm saying that using WINS is an alternative to having your clients BROADCAST to resolve NetBIOS names"
Slightly patronising and still wrong see above.
3) "You can tell your clients how to handle NetBIOS name resolution by setting the node type."
Really !! What a revelation
4) "Putting WINS on your network can reduce traffic"
Absolute rubbish - only if you can't design a proper infrastructure!!!
And if you don't understand that netbios names can be resolved via Win2000 DNS. Microsoft (and Mr Boswell) recommend losing WINS if no downlevel clients on network.
And of course Wins has a significant network overhead - and you have incorrect name registrations and all sort of wierd stuff.
WINS is a major headache on anything other than a small network - we have 60,000 clients and it is an utter nightmare - WINS problems just aren't as noticeable on a small network.
5) "Populate your Network Neighborhood on NT and Win9x systems"
Ok if you've got these clients fair enough but publishing resources in AD is much more efficient with native network.
Anybody who wants to run an efficient, streamlined network should ditch WINS if they can. And to be honest Netbeui -
ok it's quick but when it has to run over a TCP/IP stack it's just another overhead.
I could go on and on ...
And do you know who really likes Netbeui - hackers !
Good debate

No personal attack meant just disagree with you !
Cheers
