Juan,
I don't think this WINS proxy is necessary. A simple WINS server
configured on all the clients should work. You do need to have directed
broadcasts enabled for the workstations to find the domain. It is possible
to not use WINS, and rely on 'IP helper' and 'forward-protocol' for the
netbios ports, but WINS is a much better solution. There are caveats to
some of these things above, because of the way MS changes the way 98 works
vs. 2000 vs. NT. But it's not my fault you're running NT :)
