Comment 15 for bug 316862

i am still using a wins server as that is the only way i get consistent results even with the xp machines.
new jaunty installs do not network smoothly (ie connections may or may not work with mostly may not work)
as soon as i add the wins server ip address to smb.conf -and restart samba - networking is good again

network consists of 2 xp mce, 2 xp home, 1 xp pro machines (all sp3)
1 hardy amd64, 1 intrepid server, 2 jaunty amd64, 2 jaunty (all up to date)

without wins - xp to xp connections are even iffy especially between different versions
with wins it works
