You don't need to remember that - the e-smith server is already set up to provide the WINS server information via DHCP, it's already set up to be master browser, and it's already set up to win browser elections (and you don't need to change the "os level" from "33" to "65", since "33" will
win against even NTAS). But it is a good idea to configure your clients
to not participate in master browser elections, and if they are configured
with static IP, then to use the e-smith server as the WINS server.
