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