It depends on your network setup. If you are connecting to an active directory, then all you need is the domain controller. If you are just simply on a workgroup, then the WINS server applies. You can not resolve names on a workgroup across different subnets without a WINS server. How do you have your network setup? A workgroup, a domain, or active directory (or something else altogether like a Linux domain controller, or Novell)?
