<para>This specifies the IP address (or DNS name: IP
8
address for preference) of the WINS server that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
9
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> should register with. If you have a WINS server on
10
your network then you should set this to the WINS server's IP.</para>
12
<para>You should point this at your WINS server if you have a
13
multi-subnetted network.</para>
15
<para>If you want to work in multiple namespaces, you can
16
give every wins server a 'tag'. For each tag, only one
17
(working) server will be queried for a name. The tag should be
18
separated from the ip address by a colon.

<note><para>You need to set up Samba to point
22
to a WINS server if you have multiple subnets and wish cross-subnet
23
browsing to work correctly.</para></note>

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